There are many reasons to be thankful this holiday season. One is the lower price at the pump. What a change from earlier this year when we were paying $4.19 a gallon! Be safe on the road. This is one of the busiest travel times of the year. In addition, Mike Prangley says we may see about an inch of snow on Saturday night - Sunday.
Food Finders Food Bank is thankful to everyone who donated to Community Harvest. The organization met its goal of collecting 120,000 pounds of food going into the holiday season. Stay tuned for more food drives this season. In addition, drop some change in the red kettles for the Salvation Army.We received lots of positive responses to our story about the backpack program at Miami Elementary School. People were calling the school offering to donate food when they saw the preview stories airing. Thank you to Wilma Scott at Logan's Roadhouse. The restaurant is stepping up to sponsor another Lafayette school. In addition, a Lafayette church is interested in getting involved.
Although many of us have to work, make time to spend quality time with your family this holiday season. You never know what the new year holds. And, children grow up so fast. Enjoy your holiday traditions. If you don't' have one, start one.My 'Lafayette family' has a gingerbread making contest after the Thanksgiving meal. Some of the edibles are very creative. Below is the 'fisherman on the lake' scene Emilee, Tom and I made. Maybe I should brush up on all those cool Good Housekeeping creations for next year!
