Journey to a High School Reunion — Second Grade
I have more memories, or should I say impressions, about second grade than any of the previous grades. Second grade was Mrs. Ginnan’s class. She lived up the rode from us, and in the years following was one of my customers for eggs from my 4-H chicken project, along with several other fund-raisers and small…

New Water Mains, Burst Water Mains
Another photo essay today. Seems like after all the working on new water mains the past few months, we have a burst pipe of some sort up the street. It must have burst sometime Tuesday night, because when the water overflowed our driveway (more on that later), it froze and left ice on the driveway.…

This after being without internet service for 30 hours, when we had been told the problem would be resolved in 2-24 hours. So I assume being without internet service for the 24 hours previous WAS…

First Paper — editorial perspective
Huzzah! I just finished and turned in the first draft of my first paper for my Master’s Degree in Communications and Leadership. It is the draft of my Personal Philosophy of Communication paper. Before starting the course I didn’t know I needed a philosophy of communication. Wasn’t hard for me. I’m always having a philosophy…

Pictures of winter’s past….
Hey, supposed to be cold today, but no snow. If it is going to be cold, it is much more fun having snow. So I thought I’d share some pictures of yesteryear that include some fun in the snow. And no, I can’t figure a way to turn the snowman around. Turn your computer monitor…
