Here in the Whitewater area, shipping cattle is almost complete. They are trucked to market now. When I grew up the cattle were shipped on the train. Yes, there was a little train in Whitewater in the 1940s and 1950s! We called it the “Galloping Goose”. The train ran from Glasgow, Hinsdale, Saco, Whitewater, Turner, and Hogeland, and then returned. The train hauled food and groceries to the little store, Brandts Store. It hauled the US Mail, too. Times change.

Well, here in Whitewater the snow has melted, and the wind is blowing, but it is not too cold.

Happy Thanksgiving!
