  • We be Jammin’

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Don’t be afraid, I am not trying to channel my inner Rastafarian. I am just so excited that strawberry season is finally here and it’s time for me to start making jam!  I think Strawberry jam may be my favorite. I don’t know if it’s because they are the first fruits

  • Celebrating 90 years of Summer Fun!

    Sixty Seconds with Judi In the 1920’s Arthur Linvill grabbed his horse and a scoop and dredged out the pond hidden in the hollow so the neighborhood families could have a decent swimming hole.

  • Lilacs & a Mother’s Day Memory

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Today, as I walked out of my house I noticed that my Lilacs were in bloom. My heart and mind immediately were flooded with memories of my mom.

  • Think Spring

    Sixty Seconds with Judi I try to remind myself today, as I watch the snow fall outside the window, that March comes in like a lion and out like a lamb. Today, that lion is roaring! But, I am hopeful. I see the daffodils popping up through the frozen tundra. I am watching as the

  • Happy Valentine’s Day

    Sixty Seconds with Judi Some will call it a greeting card holiday, but I don’t care- I like Valentine’s Day. I was trying to research the origin and found that few can agree on just who St. Valentine was. My favorite story would be the story of a priest who served during the third century

    Sixty Seconds with Judi We did it! Our Eagles have made it to the Big Game! This Sunday should be considered a local holiday. You know- all the stores would be closed as we sit around in our house and celebrate our beloved team on Super Eagles Sunday! Let’s face it, we have been waiting
