From the Editor’s Desk
We had our daughters and their families over on Saturday for our family Thanksgiving. The highlight was that I got everyone to pose for a lovely family photo—all smiling, no eyes closed, and no whining about my request (they’d been for-warned). Somehow, without even talking about it, we were also slightly color coordinated. The food, a second Thanksgiving for all (so we had lasagna), was very good and the company was even better.
The Babe and Randy (and Dean)
(Randy’s New Ulm Journal column, Weeds, published courtesy of The Journal.) The 1993 film, “The Sandlot” is a humorous coming-of-age story about a group of boys learning life lessons playing pickup baseball games on a sandlot in Los Angeles. Through a series of misjudgments, a Babe Ruth autographed ball ends up in the yard of a fierce dog.
Six lessons about Mary

Students used business skills at BizTown
The Sleepy Eye Public School 5th graders and St. Mary's 6th graders attended Junior Achievement's BizTown in St. Paul on Nov. 15. They worked hard before they left as they learned how to balance a checkbook, interviewed for a job, and learned how to run a business. On the day of the trip, the students all had a job and had to successfully make a profit for their business. Students also had a chance to visit other businesses and spend money to help the town's economy. Overall the students had a wonderful trip. The Sleepy Eye Lions Club paid for transportation to BizTown. Submitted
