LETTER TO THE EDITOR, Reita Isaacs, Liberal
Mercy, good old Kansas weather at its best. Saturday was the perfect warm day for cutting back the climbing rose bushes with only being pierced a few times; now it’s up to the trash men to haul them away, safely now for them.
Sunday was another extreme change in both temperature and wind velocity that keeps most people home where it’s consistently the desired temperature.
This last year has been one filled with “gloom, despair, and agony” for too many; but here in our own small community lives someone that defies the meaning of all these words.
I’ve only known him for a few years but his reputation for hearing someone’s need and either offering to help or actually doing so is refreshing.
In spring, summer, and fall, he has his back yard filled with many fruits and vegetables he grows for himself, neighbors, and everyone else he can share with. Throughout the entire growing season he has harvested, cleaned, packaged, and delivered to those having coffee every Friday morning at the Liberal Senior Center.
On the last Friday before Christmas, he had baked, sliced, covered and labeled seven varieties of his breads plus brownies. Best of all, each one of us went home with our own pumpkin bread (homegrown), wrapped in holiday fashion.
I am personally thanking him for all of his kindness and consideration for and of others.
Thank you HAYDEN OLIVE
