Harold also will not allow corn in the shop for fear that the corn kernels will magically turn into mice. He's seen it happen, or so he claims.

With Thanksgiving just 2 days away, the various members of the Hinkle family are getting ready for the holiday. Darrel and Kristi Hinkle are planning to see her family in Deadwood. Harold and Mary Hinkle are planning to see her family at the Come Hahn Inn. Jerry Hinkle is planning to spend the day with his family at the Ponderosa. Since it'll just be him and his grandfather, E.E. Hinkle, Jerry bought a pound of ground turkey and will make potatoes and gravy with the instant potatoes and canned gravy that is on hand. If only he had the recipe for Ms. Amanda's Chocolate Yam Cake recipe. Then his Thanksgiving would be made.

In the evening, Jerry was thinking of making the cocktail drink that he learned about on "How I Met Your Mother" last night. It's half cranberry juice and half potato vodka, with cube of turkey bullion. All of us here at the Holabird Advocate wish to remind our courageous, dynamic Publisher that, on the show, Lily vomited after drinking that mess, and he might do the same.

All of us here at the Holabird Advocate wish to extend our heartfelt sympathy and condolences to the family of Dr. John Myers. His sister-in-law, Lucille Myers, and niece, Roxie Goehring just happen to be two of our most valuable readers.

Mr. Myers went to a Sioux Falls Hospital because something was wrong with him that they he thought an operation would help. Long story short, it didn't help. He's in God's hands now, and that will help. His troubles are all over now. His family's troubles are just starting. They will get through those troubles the same way he did, by relying on God.
