Imogene Baxter 
(December 24, 1914 - November 4, 2017) 
On November 4, 2017, Imogene Short Baxter, at the age of 102, passed from this life to be with her Lord and reunited with her husband Louis Baxter.

It’s been over two years since we’ve seen Thor (Chris Hemsworth), which seems like forever in Marvel Cinematic Universe time. He missed the dissolution of The Avengers in “Captain America: Civil War” and the rise of several new superheroes. We missed a lot with him as well. He broke up with his girlfriend and got himself imprisoned by a fire demon. The demon wants to bring about Ragnarok, or the destruction of Thor’s home planet of Asgard, which essentially means the end of everything Thor holds dear.

With work, school, sports practices, music lessons and homework time filling up the calendar, the back-to-school season can be hectic. During this busy time of year, having dinner waiting for you when you come home can make life so much easier. That’s why a lot of people choose to use slow cookers. No more standing in front of the refrigerator trying to make decisions about what to have for dinner after a long day at work. No more trying to balance food prep and homework. Just throw the ingredients in the slow cooker before work and turn it on!

The 2017 election draws to a close Tuesday, with all ballots due by 7:00 p.m. This year, all ballots were mailed, so voters are not lining up at the polls.

Weekend before last, my sis, Jerene, and I went to Colorado Springs on Saturday to attend the 95th birthday celebration for our Aunt Esther, one of my dad's sisters.  Afterwards, we went to lunch with our nephew, Jason, and his family and our sister-in-law, Donna.  After lunch, Donna, Jerene and I went to Cripple Creek for the afternoon.  We spent Saturday night with Donna and returned home Sunday evening.  A very enjoyable weekend.
