Good morning, welcome January! This week we are talking about events scheduled up until next Wednesday, which is January 15 already! My, oh my. Hard to believe. So backing up just a bit. This Saturday, January the 11th, the Banner County Wildcat...

Here we are, January, 2, 2020. Only thing better will be 2-2-2020, haha. Time sure is flying! So, did you make a New Year’s resolution? I kinda sorta did. Since time seems to be flying by, I don’t see the point in making that diet resolution, so...

Good morning Banner County and friends near and far. Here is – assuming that you’re making it through the Christmas season and are looking toward New Year’s Eve and are ready for the New Year – another chance to grow. As you know, the kids...

Good Morning, Banner County! Here we are and one week from today Christmas will be over and there will be less than one week left in the year 2019. Just cannot believe it. Time is sure flying and I know for a fact I am not having that much fun! This...

Good morning Banner County, friends near and far. Winter has arrived. Our family took a little road trip this past weekend and I was surprised to see so many pheasants. In several different places and counties. My dad loved to hunt and he would have...

Good morning Banner County! I see corn harvest is still under way for some of us, finished for others. Spring weather out here today, breezy and mild. And we are toward the end of November and looking toward Thanksgiving! I hope this great weather ho...

Good morning Banner County, friends near and far. A chilly one it has been at that. Thankful for the bit of snow; any moisture is welcome right now even though corn harvest is yet to be finished. Banner County School has been bursting with activity...

Good morning Banner County and welcome to winter – and it is November already! I feel like this year has just flown. We have had one graduation in our family and one wedding, and they say good times make that time fly faster. Maybe so. Speaking of...

Good morning! I hope you all are doing well and as Nebraskans we are known to deal with whatever season we are dealt with – on a daily basis and sometimes several seasons in one day! Yesterday it was winter, and this morning we have spring....

Good morning Banner County, friends and neighbors! Today it is summer, but I think fall is in for tomorrow. Crazy weather we have been having ... I still have snow in a few places in my yard. I will take every nice day that comes my way from here on...

Good morning Banner County, at least so far. As I write this, we are preparing for our first winter snow. Yuck. I am never ready, and won’t be until about Dec. 24. Too bad, too sad for me; here it comes anyway! Here are a few things going on that...

Good morning! Fall is definitely in the air, right along with football. Here at Banner County School this is Homecoming week. Today is throwback Thursday and there is cross country at Bayard. Tomorrow, Friday, October 4th, they will begin banding...

Good morning! Here we are beginning the last week in September, unbelievable! And a busy time it is for sure. Today, September 26th the junior high football team will take on Guernsey at 2 p.m., home field. Come on out and support these young folks!...

Good morning friends and neighbors near and far! Hope this beautiful fall weather has been just what you needed. Some of  you might have had a little more rain then necessary this past week, don’t know.  Just hoping that all is well on your end....

Good morning Banner County, and a beautiful one it is! We had rain here a few evenings ago and I am not sure if that was a help or a hindrance for those of you getting the corn fields ready. I have myself no corn, so I enjoyed the rain. Well,...

Good morning, Banner County. Here is hoping that you have had a good week, Labor Day included! You know it has been quite awhile since we have seen the lights on at the school football field. This past Friday was that night, and although there...

Good morning Banner County, and bahh hum bug to the snow. Wouldn’t ya know that our winter would wait until spring to show up! Now with the time change we also have one more hour of daylight to enjoy it instead of all of those evenings when it was...

With Valentine’s Day behind us and a few days off from school it sure has been nice to just enjoy being home. We (I) have under taken a re-modeling project that I am getting really tired of and will be glad to have completed. Hopefully that will...

Good morning Banner County, neighbors near and far. What a busy week last week was--Music students at Chadron, District FFA at Gordon, and District wrestling at Sutherland…Not to mention basketball. As these particular sports seasons are starting...

Who believes that underground chipmunk Punxsutawney Phil anyway? Little snow here this past week and looking like warmer weather for at least a few days. Rain would be nice. This past weekend I had a chance to finally visit for a few minutes with...

I hope everyone enjoyed the terrific warm weather that we had over the past week. Although we have had more average temperatures for the last several days, I think it will warm up again somewhat. My yard is full of tumble weeds. I have no use for...

Boy oh boy, has this month been a busy one! It seems like when school is in session we are all in perpetual motion, and believe me sometimes my personal motion is pretty s-l-o-w! The nicer weather has sure helped my attitude although I would dearly...
