In my youth (umpteen years ago), someone told me if you put a frog in a kettle of water, then turn the heat up slowly to the boiling point, that frog would just sit there grinning while he slowly boiled to death. I thought, “that’s ridiculous – who wouldn’t get out when it got too hot!” So, I pitched that story in my “totally absurd” pile.

This is my last edition of the Pittsburg Gazette. Thus far, I have worked on a total of 213 papers since I started in July 2021. I am engaged to be married and am planning to move to Longview, and since long hours and weekends don’t mix well with a new family, my husbandto-be won out. Please accept my sincerest thanks for your many kindnesses, and for giving me the benefit of the doubt when I made a mistake--which was often enough I’m sure.

I have the dearest hubby in the world. He’s smart, funny, a great cook (thank you, Lord!), and a hard worker. He would give someone the shirt off his back (and has many times). But he also misplaces things … a lot! Hubby reminds me nothing is ever lost, so I’m choosing to say “misplaced.”
