Still scattered showers around the area from day to day and most days saw very little sunshine for long periods of the time. There was even some sleet on Saturday and then Sunday late evening.

Hope this does not mean six more weeks of cold snowy weather. My buttercups and tulips are up and some people even have some that have bloomed. Some days the temperatures have been in th...

We can’t do anything about tomorrow and we can’t go back and change yesterday. So I plan on enjoying today and trusting in God. Our neighbor’s boys just came and stacked firewood on the back porch. They are really not boys, b...

February 1, 1951 The main headline for the week was “Worst Weather in History Grips County.” A weather system brought sleet, snow, and freezing rain throughout most of the state. Thick ice covered and pulled down many power and phone lines throughout the county, leaving approximately 75 percent of residents without electricity or telephone.

There’s no middle ground with middle names. You either love them or hate them. Or, if you’re a politician, you treat them however the latest opinion poll indicates. (“It’s way past time this nation took the bold bipartisan move of giving Harry S. Truman an actual posthumous middle name – not for our own benefit, but FOR THE CHILDREN.”) Middle names come from various sources. My son and I both carry on my late father’s middle name of Lewis. My brother was named for the surgeon who delivered him...

Ms. Kupfer said she was disappointed that our representatives were among those who questioned the validity of elections in certain states- states that conveniently happen to have been the very ones either candidate would require to win the election. While it is true that both of our U.S. Senators from Ten...
