Ted faces some difficult decisions this weekend, as Bonners Ferry will have three holiday and craft shows to choose from. Should he go to one, two, or all three? Joy says, ALL THREE!

While his credit card says, "Oh no!" His tummy says, "Yippee!" These shows offer more than crafts and gifts; they also offer lots of pies, cakes, cinnamon rolls, donuts, and other goodies too numerous to list.

Plus, the first snowfall of the year has blanketed the area. Yes, it is beginning to look (and feel) a lot like Christmas.

But Joy reminds us the real point of these shows is seeing and talking to old friends and making new ones.

Ted agrees. But he reminds us that there is also nothing wrong with having a good piece of pie simultaneously.

Ted is humbled by two guests who serve their community and care about people. Local pastor Len Pine who is also the president of the Boundary County Caplin Corps and Tom Chaney, retired air force senior airman and wild land fire captain for the local Paradise Valley Fire Department join Ted. They discuss how their separate paths in life brought them together to this community. They also share some of their adventures and misadventures while responding to various calls. They were both involved in the recent Veteran's Day celebration and participate in other veteran related observances during the year. They are busy men who take time to help and serve others in need.

Ted apologizes for being a loose nut behind the microphone. But he is learning. He is also excited about many things this week. Ted explains how Kansas led us from Armistice Day to today's Veteran's Day. Ted also reminds us there are always two sides to every story. He encourages us to check out the upcoming movie, Wicked, to learn the witch's side of the story. What was going on in the land of Oz...before Dorothy? The election made Ted happy and gave him hope. Is Trump's election a blessing for our country? Is Trump, really such an evil dude? What might God be saying to us? Meanwhile, Joy admits Ted was right...3 times in one day!! And a woman tells Ted that Terry is a rather good-looking guy. NO WAY!
