James Country Mercantile

Del is home as of Wednesday afternoon. Remains on supplemental oxygen, but is doing fine. Thank you to everyone for all of the prayers - keep them coming.

Just a reminder to our out of town guests and visitors -

For those last minute Christmas gifts, don't forget we have the Kunstler calendars in stock, as well as the ragg wool sox and gloves - and we can always do gift certificates in any amount. Wherever you are, remember to shop local and support your local independent businesses!

This is one gorgeous scene - God Bless America!

if you do not know who Martha Raye is, watch an old re-run of the TV show Alice - she played Mel's mother on it. She was also one tough gal, as this story shows. If only our current crop of "stars" were as tough.

Folks, COVID has hit the Warren's! Del is in the hospital due to breathing issues, I'm at home on quarantine. We're both positive. As a result, the store is closed to the public for at least the next 7 days. We will still receive freight - if you are expecting deliveries, give me a call at 816 868 5868 and I'll give you more details. Bear with us - we will recover!

What a glorious photo!

Today, the Presidential Medal of Freedom will be presented to Dan Gable - Iowa State University graduate and wrestling legend, 1972 Olympic Gold Medal Winner, and former University of Iowa wrestling coach. Del was at Iowa State at the same time Dan Gable was, back in the late 1960s. GO CYCLONES!!

79 years ago today, the Japanese attacked the US base at Pearl Harbor. Let us never forget the the event "that will live in infamy".

I love positive thinking! There will be life in 2021!!!
