Some folks did some traveling over the Thanksgiving holiday and others enjoyed dinners and fellowship with family and friends. It was a very warm day, breaking records. We had the windows open, and it was tempting to have a picnic.

Dalton and Lorna Wiebe and family went to Houston, Texas, for the Thanksgiving weekend, returning home on Nov. 26. They spent the time visiting Titus Koehn, who is doing volunteer work at a hospital there.

Hiram and Rhonda Wedel of Iowa and Larry and Eileen Schmidt of Mississippi spent the Thanksgiving weekend at the home of Roy and Nadine Davis. On Nov. 21, they all attended a potluck supper at the school with other Davis and Wedel families. On Thanksgiving Day, Roy and Nadine hosted a dinner for Hiram and Rhonda, Larry and Eileen, and Rick and Lavae Koehn and family. On Saturday, the Wedels went to western Kansas to visit relatives while Larry and Eileen attended the wedding of Larry’s brother Richard to Heather Unruh at Moundridge. The rest of the Davis family also attended the wedding. Hiram and Rhonda returned home on Nov. 25, and Larry and Eileen returned home the next day.
