Many of us are very fortunate to have nearby families and friends whom we can share Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Day, Easter, etc. For those of us, we oftimes don't remember that there are others out there who don't have that option.
This past Thanksgiving of 2009, Leoti's Route 96 Cafe remained open for lunch that day. I was not there but I have spoken with people who were. They were VERY happy with the quality and abundance of the food there! Most importantly, they were humbled at the aspect of being able to gather with others on this wonderful day. One such person told me that if the Cafe had not chosen to be open, he would have been forced to eat a turkey TV dinner instead.
Thank you to the Route 96 Cafe's powers-that-be and to those of you who prepared the food, waited tables and washed dishes at the cafe on Thanksgiving!!!

Anyone who has spent any time at our house in recent years, knows that we have a very definite Victorian-Traditional Interior Design! One of the elements of that design is lace doilies, tablecloths, table runners, etc. Right now, I am in need of some of those. If you have any that you would like to sell, could you please let me know?

Inportant News about the Tribune Movie Thetre
As of the weekend of December 12th and 13th, the movies will be shown earlier at 7:30 CST until Summer. That means that the movies will now be seen 1/2 hour earlier than it has been. As far as people who have school age children in Wichita County are concerned, this is great! We can also have the option of taking our kids to the Sunday movie and still get them home on time for bed!
Ticket prices have remained the same low price, $5.00 for everyone 13-years-old and older, 4 through 12-year-olds--$4.00 and birth through 3-year-olds--FREE.
I am hoping that more people will take advantage of the earlier schedule so that they can come and experience the amazing renovations that have been done at the theatre in the past year!
Come and enjoy a movie (and the ambience!)

More Playground Equipment in Leoti?
The City of Leoti is asking for donations to purchase more playground equipment for Leoti. As a parent of two children in Leoti, I would love to see that wish come true! However, I have an idea that I would like to know if people would support or not.
We have two great parks in town--the new one by the swimming pool and the older park in the southwest corner of town. Both have great sidewalk paths for walking. Both have roofed in buildings for BBQs. What about putting some of the new equipment in the old park? Sometimes, older children (teenagers) are in the new park and sometimes discourage the younger children from playing there. If the older park also had nice equipment, the younger children could play there.
Both parks are maintained very well!
What do you think?

Christmas Lights in Leoti
Last night, our family drove through Leoti in search of Christmas lights. We found quite a few! If your family is into this sport, you JUST HAVE TO got by the Kyle and Heather Harkness-Leimkuhler residence om the corner of Third and "C" Streets!!! Believe me, you will not be disappointed!
In recent years, they have collected and added more lights, "sculptures", etc in their front yard. This year, they have also converted their backyard into a Winter Wonderland! Heather told me that her parents donated their reindeer to the Leimkuhlers this year. Our daughter was sooo excited when she noticed that rows of candy canes line their front sidewalk from the street to their front door! Each candy cane is holding a string of lights.
My favorite movie of ALL time is Chevy Chase's CHRISTMAS VACATION. The Leimkuhlers have put the Griswalds to shame! Their electric meter has to be spinning rapidly as was the Griswalds but everything at Leimkuhlers is much more tastefully done.
Thank you, Kyle and Heather, for becoming a great tradition in Leoti! Many children throughout town beg their parents to drive around your house! Unfortunately, they beg yearround. Good thing that your yard is perfectly landscaped!
Happy Christmas light hunting!!!

My family wants to thank Aaron Matteson and the other City of Leoti guys.
For many a year, our dirt roads have been the livin' pits in the Northern Leoti area. Aaron took over as City Superintendant a year ago. Since then, our streets have DRASTICALLY improved! This past week, many hours were spent by his crew grading the streets in our neighborhood, at least. Once they were just right, more sand was brought in. That was great to see! For people who have never lived on dirt streets, whenever rain or snow lands on them, they usually get REALLY bad! As vehicles travel down them, deep trenches are left, people get stuck, etc.
Thank you, Aaron and everyone else involved who have come in, repaired and prepared our roads for Winter!!!

Tribune's Cortlandt Ingram and Famous Friends are coming to YOUR Television Set!!!
People around these parts have really enjoyed going to various musical events spotlighting the Ingram Family Band in the 1970s to Cortlandt Ingram's SOUTHERN SKY. The musical Ingrams included Dwain, Theoma, Eddie, Bev, Tava and Cortlandt. Back then, Cort was just a little tot who still managed to put on a great show. He played the fiddle, sang and danced. Many of us went to listen to them whenever they played. They were downright famous around here!
Through Cortlandt's childhood, he was continuously trained on the fiddle and guitar by his grandfather, Dwain. (Some don't know this but Dwain has been a gifted musician since way before he ever married Theoma! After his father passed away at a young age, Dwayne gave up his dreams of making it big in Nashville so that he could stay in Greeley County and run the family farm.)
Cortlandt was home-schooled so that he would have more available time to work on his music. He later went to a music college in Texas, went on to co-own his own country-western band, SOUTHERN SKY and eventually made it to Branson, Mo. where he has produced great music for several famous music groups including SONS OF THE PIONEERS, THE BRASCHLERS and now he is with the tremendously famed PRESLEY FAMILY.
The powers-to-be at the Presley Family released the news this week that the famous family and multi-talented cast will be entering into uncharted territory.... TV!!!!!! They have just signed a multi-year contract with RFD-TV. Each week, they will produce a half-hour show which will spotlight their music, variety and entertainment shows that are expected to air on RFD-TV (Rural Farm Development) in March of 2010. The Presley Family is the first of the longest running shows in Branson to enter into a TV series.
They have entertained people from everywhere for 42 years now. The series will be filmed on stage at their theatre and will feature 3 generations of their family, as well as their cast.
"What started out as a family cave in the Ozarks can now truly echo around the world, thanks to RFD-TV and RURAL TV," said Steve Presley, Vice President of Presley Entertainment.
The series went in to production on Thursday. So far, Debby Boone, Buck Trent and Sons of the Pioneers have already filmed their performances.
The primetime show will air on Saturday evenings each week in the middle of the channel's "music row" line of shows at 7:30 p.m., just after the MARTY STUART SHOW and preceding "MIDWEST COUNTRY." Each show will be repeated twice during the next week.
Cortlandt is the son of Eddie and Bev Case-Wenger and the grandson of Dwayne and Theoma Ingram of Tribune and the late Cloris Case of Leoti.
We're looking forward to the series!!!
CONGRATULATIONS, CORTLANDT! YOU'VE DONE US REAL PROUD!!!
