Writing a final news column has proven to be more difficult than I expected. I have started and then started again, and the words just don’t seem to want to be in print. I thought I had a great amount of wisdom to share, but this might be much shorter than I planned.
Friday, Feb. 25, will be my final official day in the Cottonwood Extension District Office in Hays. I have asked Donna Maskus, a master food volunteer for many years, to help me with a program on scones. The program will be Friday, Feb. 25, beginning at 12:10 p.m. at the Extension Office meeting room at 601 Main in Hays.
If you cannot attend over the noon hour, please consider stopping by the office between 1 and 3 p.m. on Friday for some scones and tea. Donna and I have baked and tried a variety of recipes and we will share the best with you in a handout. We also have many past Kansas Wheat Commission booklets from the past that we would love to find a home for.
If you have time to stop by and say goodbye on Friday, I would love to see you. If you are not able to come, we can still get you a handout with scone recipes. Don’t be a stranger to the Extension office and all the Extension activities in the future.
I don’t know that I really believe in forever goodbyes. I hope I will meet up with you in the future. Good luck to all of you as you continue your good work in your community. And if those words of wisdom pop into my mind this week, maybe I will be allowed one more column.
