III Issue 11J Hinkle Thanksgiving Plans Get Set With George and Mavis Kennedy set to arrive at the Ponderosa, and tentative plans for Kassidee Kennedy and Danielle Kline to do the same, Mary Hinkle has taken it upon herself to prepare Thanksgiving dinner for the group. Doug Hinkle and his family are coming over as well. Darrel and Kristi Hinkle will be going to see Kristi's family in Deadwood, South Dakota, and they will be taking the kids as well. Mary is busy getting the guest bedroom in her house ready for the Kennedy girls, in case the do end up making it over there. George and Mavis also have a bed that is ready and waiting for them as well at the Ponderosa Pines Old Age Assistance Home. If that's not to their liking, there's always the dog house. Guess Who Came Over For Dinner Joyce Ferris was getting kinda tired of the dull bland and boring meals at the Ponderosa Pines Old Age Assistance Home, so she snuck out and had dinner at Harold and Mary Hinkle's place. E.E. Hinkle had the same idea, but Joyce beat him over there even though she took the scenic route. Mary served fried chicken, potatoes, squash, and pears. That beats chicken broth and yogurt any day of the week. No complaints so far. North of 40 by Red Green Okay, it all comes down to pride. We're out there driving around in our own vehicle, burning gas, wearing sunglasses, looking good. People who see us driving by would never guess that we have no idea where we are. And we don't want to tell them. Men don't enjoy the concept of going up to total strangers and saying, "You may not know this but I'm a moron." In contrast the woman we're traveling with is often very anxious to share this knowledge with the world. It somehow eases her burden. To women, getting lost on a trip is a blameless act of nature. To men, it's a personal failure. He knew where he was when he left home, he doesn't know where he is now. Somewhere along the line he crossed the line from the world he knows into the world he doesn't know. To a man this is how he felt when he got married or had kids. If he admits he's lost in the car, he'll have to admit that he's lost everywhere and that's way too much to ask. So just bite your tongue and circle the block a few more times. Men aren't lost, they just go the long way. Remember, I'm pullin' for ya. We're all in this together.
