GOBLIN’S GLORY MEMORIES When the moon is full and the witches fly the Stockton FFA members prepare for the annual Goblin’s Glory! Members set up booths and conduct a variety of games with the format not changing since its inception. That means there is always the auction where people can bid for special prizes, and the soup supper to kick off the event!

HOMECOMING MEMORIES Yes, I am still on my trip down Memory Lane and thought I would reminisce about my Homecomings while I was in high school. We were state champs my freshman year with the Tigers winning the MCL Championship, the Regional District Class 2A Playoff in Stockton, and then beating Baldwin 26 to14 to claim the State title.

THIS AND THAT * I have decided to be the Roma Smith of my generation who went to the Stockton swimming pool whenever she could! She is my inspiration with her “plain old vanilla” walk. And I will add that I met my water spirit at the Hays Aquatic Park this summer. This 80-something lady goes to the pool whenever she can to work on her tan! That is so me.

THIS AND THAT * “Leave it to Beaver” TV star Tony Dow recently passed away. I loved watching that show when I was growing up. My favorite episode was the one where the Beaver climbs up on a gigantic billboard to see if there is really coffee being poured into a cup from a giant coffee pot.

THIS AND THAT * The cool people will get this….George Jetson was born on July 31st, 2022. * Did you know it is 75 days until Halloween?! (August 18th) * I am proud to announce that I have completed the first item on my bucket list.
