I would like to wish a special Happy Belated Birthday to my wonderful neighbor and good friend, Linda Ramsay. I hope you had a wonderful day and wish you much happiness, good health, prosperity and love in years to come. Happy Birthday, my friend.

Happy Anniversary to Russell and Sirkka Wirkkala and Kevin and Laura Leaf. Here’s to many more celebrations together.

It looks like this weekend isn’t going to be quite as stormy as the last one, at least in our neck of the woods. We may get some low temps but at least the flood danger is gone for now. If you are traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday, be prepared and be safe.

Wishing the Eagle staff and all the readers and their families a very Happy Thanksgiving.
