Victoria Gazette - Hook Line & Sinker Column

I got to spend much time in mid October with our kids and grandkids over the long MEA and NDEA weekend. It stands for Minnesota and North Dakota Education Association. Addie, Gunnar, Sophie, and Mia are active school kids in the two states and I was happy they came to Grandma Sue's house. If you want to see how they've grown and how we spent some of our time together, visit Sue's Album at www.VictoriaGazette.com. When they left it was back to work! Maybe you know that I love both work and play.

The fishhook was hiding last month in the southwest corner of the Victoria Halloween Kids Party ad on page 8, wrapped among the curlies below a ghost. When I dipped into the minnow bucket and swished around a bit, I caught Bonnie Wagener of Waconia and pulled her up for fresh air and to tell her she won the $10 drawing. Congratulations, Bonnie. When I see your name, I think of Leo and Vangie, of course. My goodness, where does the time go!

There's another fishhook hidden in this issue of the Gazette. If you find it and want to be included in next month's drawing, email Sue@VictoriaGazette.com telling of its location or drop a line to P.O. Box 387, Victoria, MN 55386 and sinker in the mail. As I've said before, it's now back to work!
