It seems my husband and I always decide to begin a project at the wrong time of year. We purchase snow shovels in April, barbecues in November, and sleds after the snow melts, a new self-propelled four-wheel drive push lawn mower when the grass has withered in the fall, and the list goes on.

We decided to treat ourselves to a small greenhouse. This wasn’t...

That is not much to get a household through rough times. Such is the case for...

Speech, Drama & Debate travelled to Poplar this past weekend, coming home victorious. Twelve competitors loaded the bus at 6:30 a.m. tired and not sure which end was up, some of the kids used the bus time to go over the piece that they were going to use in the competition, others slept, but there were a few, who like myself stopped and got coffee before loading up on the bus so we were awake and ready to pump the team up. The meet was small but competitive, especially since it was only the...
