newspapers


This month we visited our Daughter and Son in law in Idaho. On their end table was the Wall Street Journal. Both of us thoroughly enjoyed reading most of what was in this paper, we found it to be current, informative, and pertinent to what is happening both in our country and abroad.

The first week we were home, Will subscribed to the WSJ and it arrived in our mailbox this week. The Forum, the newspaper we had subscribed to for years was coming up short. It seemed most of the articles were about area fringe groups, and contained little useful information. We started thinking of the Forum as a sister paper to the National Enquirer. We will most likely continue to get the Forum as Gramma enjoys reading through the funnies, marriage and engagement announcements, and the obituaries. But beyond that, the paper is basically useless.

We are looking forward to being better informed about the actual news in the country, money and investing, and being entertained with the journal section, which is a far cry from what we've endured with the Forum's newest 'She Said'

Thank you Blair and Kristin, we'll be so much smarter now

  1. You mean learning about a lady marrying herself
    and how to make reusable feminine products aren't useful? haha...
    I agree with grandma - I really like reading the engagements and wedding. I'm still glad you get the forum for that aspect :)
