Current story
On Golden Pond was an award winning film from 1981 starring Henry Fonda, Katherine Hepburn and Jane Fonda. Norman, a retired professor, and his wife Ethel, summered on Golden Pond, a lake in New Hampshire. In this scene, Ethel and Norman take the canoe out for a ride on the lake and see the loons. A motor boat comes rather close to the loons and their canoe and both Norman and Ethel tell them to "buzz off."

Featured story idea
This is the story of a mistaken text message and how it led to a lasting relationship between two families. In 2016, Wanda Dench accidentally accidentally sent an invitation to attend her family Thanksgiving dinner to a stranger named Jamal Hinton. Although it was a mistake, Wanda invited him to her family Thanksgiving anyway and Jamal agreed to go. And they had such a good time together it became a tradition.
You can use this story to talk about traditional and non-traditional families, traditional and non-traditional celebrations, continuity and change.
