Polson seniors for May 10, 2023

POLSON — May 14 is Mother’s Day. I figure that every day is Mother’s Day. Honor and celebrate the women in your life, as well as the mothers. Did you notice the traffic building up on the highway? Local folks only make left turns onto the highway at a stoplight. Everyone else waits forever.  We repurpose clean and gently used Super One Foods green plastic grocery bags.
