By Dorothy Warf, Contributing Writer We have had a taste of what may be in store for us in the coming months and I hope it is wrong and will not be this bad. The temperatures have dipped into the low teens on several occasions during the last week or so. Despite the cold morning temperatures there is still beauty in the sights along the road as icicles can be frozen up the weeds along the road and especially around the creek, they are really pretty and then when the frost is on the trees and shrubs and the sun comes up they sparkle like...

Evelyn 'E.T.' Trevathan|Dec 1, 2022
By Evelyn Trevathan, Contributing Writer Well it is a cool and windy morning here in our little valley, but it is not as cold as it has been, having a little fire going in the old wood heating stove sure feels good and having this little cool weather makes my coffee taste even better. The cats have eaten and are now snuggled back down for their nap, now that it is getting colder they are getting into a habit of getting up to eat breakfast and then going right back to their warm beds. Bobs already got the breakfast dishes washed and the kitchen...

With Thanksgiving behind us and practically only one month till the new year we have had many days of winter weather already and it is not something that I wish for anymore, but we may be in for a hard winter. The signs that the older people and Almac’s give to support a hard winter are very much visual this year. We have already had several days with temperatures in the teens and low twenties which is not good for the electric bill. We have also had some light showers and rain at times during the last few days. Those I know of who are sick e...

Tyrades
Danny Tyree|Dec 1, 2022
“Do you mind if we have leftovers?” When my wife poses that question, I always answer, “No, that’s fine,” because (a) I genuinely enjoy leftovers, (b) I don’t want to cause extra trouble for her and (c) I can’t afford the airline tickets to transport a Tupperware container of six-day-old broccoli to all those “starving children on the other side of the world who would give their right arm for a fraction of the food you and your siblings are wasting.” Unless I redeem my “frequent guilt t...
