Roll or get rolled over

This week some of the girls from the office and I attended a class at KSU about Social Media Marketing.  We met around 5 AM on Tuesday and headed to Manhattan.  So, what does that mean?  The class was about how to get platforms like Facebook, and Instagram to work for you and your business.  Most of the other attendees represented some type of organization or a private business.  One thing I learned, was to roll with changes, or get rolled over. 
It’s interesting, media is changing so quickly.  How does a small newspaper keep up?  One way I think, is to offer something that other papers don’t.  The Rural Messenger offers many columnists that share a story or a humorous point of view.  Some share personal stories, and life lessons from their past. 
We also offer classifieds, that come from sellers who are from the most part from central Kansas.  Not everyone likes to point and click and read on a screen.  We offer a paper that comes out weekly so that you can sit and read the paper when you get the opportunity, rather than rush, rush, rush.
On to the kids, this is a big birthday time for our family right now.  March 1 is shared by three people, along with 3 February birthdays and three other birthdays in March.  Two of them are adults, the rest are nieces and nephews. 
Allie told me that they could not have made it one more morning without me.  Weston seemed pretty happy to have me home.  Weston got to dress up and have Dr. Suess week at school.  His favorite day was dress like a farmer.  He told me that he didn’t want to dress like an ordinary farmer, he wanted to dress like my dad.  I didn’t try and tell him that my dad dresses pretty ordinary most days.  I think Weston didn’t want to dress in overalls.  So, he dressed in a tractor shirt, some of his work jeans, boots, plyers on his belt and a ball cap.
Addie has been enjoying the new Cricut that I got for my birthday.  It is a die cutting machine.  Now we can cut paper, fabric, and wood. We can even do some embossing with a special tool.   She has made several thank you cards and other projects. I have invested a small fortune is paper to cut out.  However, this is one electronic I am happy to let her play with.   We made some birthday cards for the cousins. 
I finally got a picture of one of our road runners.  I have seen three at our house, but I don't think they all say here at once.
