‘Tis the season for twinkling lights, warm cookies, and cozy gatherings. The holidays aren’t just about decorations; they’re a magical time that weaves together family, love, and unforgettable moments.
Every Forney citizen who had made the one-hour trip to the Wilkerson-Sanders Memorial Stadium watched the field with bated breath.
Brookshire Grocery Co. (BGC) announced that the company is giving all employee- partners, with at least one year of uninterrupted service, the equivalent of one-half week’s pay. Those with less than one year of service will receive prorated amounts. This totals a $3.6 million dollar investment in employee-partners in the form of special checks for Christmas.
Driving on a highway, you might notice the twisted wires that the highway department uses to create a safety barrier. The placement of the barriers is determined by a number of factors–angle of roadside, approaching curvature of the roadway, number of accidents per direction– which all have been carefully studied. In other words, the relationship of driver to road conditions determines placement of the barrier cable. Another interesting fact is that while the cables are strong and flexible (much like a teacher), the steel supports are meant to break and give way to protect the driver in case they accidentally veer off the road into them.
Do not go to see this movie if you want to think Elvis Presley was wonderful and perfect! Do not go if you are expecting to see a movie mostly about Elvis’s wife, Priscilla! Do not go if you are expecting to see what happened to Priscilla “after” being married to Elvis!

Pub Day, it’s called. That’s what the publishers call it when your book gets published. They call it Pub Day.
My mom was a great cook. Growing up during the Great Depression and learning from her mother, my Gramma Nano, Mom honed her skills in the kitchen feeding her family for many years. Give her an onion and a few basic ingredients and you could eat well. She was known for her banana pudding, a staple at every 4-H potluck when I was a kid. Her Depression Era tomato soup was also a favorite and hit the spot on cold rainy days. Mom’s turkey dinners at Thanksgiving were legendary. I have never tasted cornbread dressing that could compare to Mom’s. Not only would she stuff the bird, usually the biggest one she could find at our local Safeway, but she would make additional pans of dressing, so we had plenty to go with our turkey sandwiches after the holiday. But nothing compared to her to her amazing Christmas fudge. I am convinced that Mom made the best tasting fudge ever consumed on planet Earth.
“To be wise means to be very smart, and you know everything,” says Rachel, age 6. “And when someone wise says something, and it comes true, that means they are really wise and really smart. The wisest person I know is my dad because he knows the weather, and he’s only a doctor.”
