Thursday thingamajigs

Actually, there are no thingamajigs, but it seemed like a nice word to use this morning in keeping with "th" and Thursday.

Yesterday I went to the high school for a few minutes and visited with Patsy Sletager, one
of my beloved former students and Ponderettes. Patsy has been working in the school office
for a long time. She's truly the "Bulldog Queen" at the school with her large collection of stuffed
Bulldogs that line the walls around her desk.

Well, Patsy's working on a cause, and I'm happy to help pass the word. It involves the photo of the blanket above.

It's described as "beautiful, plush and 60 by 80." Guaranteed delivery before SHS Christmas Break, the flyer states.

Here's the rest of the scoop from the flyer.

It's $45.

Proceeds go to the Roberta Bostock Memorial Fund

Roberta was active in Drill Team and Pep Club, graduating with the great Class of 1974. Roberta was married to former Bulldog Bill Bostock and produced two outstanding Bulldogs of her own.

She worked in the SHS office for 11 years. Our fund was established by the office staff of Sandpoint High to provide scholarships to outstanding seniors in Roberta's name. Former recipients are Matthew Charbonneau for 2009 and Kyle Gibson for 2008.

Contact Patsy Sletager at Sandpoint High by email or phone.

patsy.sletager@lposd.org or 208-263-3034, Ext. 4004.

We are taking pre-orders now. Check with Patsy for mailing addresses if you're ordering from afar.

This is a great cause and it honors the memory of a great human being, friend, mother, wife, sister whose life here on earth was much too short. Roberta was loved by all who knew her, and I can't think of a better way to remember her and pass along her legacy.

As for yesterday's photo of the fall colors down the country road, thanks so much for all the good guesses.

I went down a road Tuesday which I seldom take. My purpose was to find a spot where horseback riders take a trail leading to Schweitzer Mountain Resort.

Along the way, I saw the beautiful sight. The answer: North Boyer Road about a mile before it turns on to West Selle Road. It was a moment of beauty reserved for that time. I don't know if it would still be as pretty because we all know how fleeting those fall images are.

I'm glad I snapped the picture.

Have a nice Thursday.
