Throughout my life, I wouldn't describe myself as a “mommas boy”. Quite frankly we have always butted heads a little more than we needed too. Oh she’s going to hate that I’m writing this but I’ll do it anyway. Over my five day thanksgiving break this year things looked a little bit ...
Let me start by saying that I can take the cold much better than I can take the heat. As my Ma is known for saying, 'You can always put more clothing on, but you can only take so much off.' Okay, so, traditionally my Ma turns on the furnace on November the first. This happens regardless of ...
Oh it’s the most thankful time of the year, I think the song goes like that anyway. With this week being one full of thankfulness, family, and friends, it’s the right time to share some things I am thankful for. To start out, I am so very thankful for our newspaper. Oh course the guy who ...
