There once was a pot called a pressure cooker, which had a propensity of putting food on the ceiling rather than in plates. In our family, when Mom got out her infamous pressure cooker, all the kids headed for their bedrooms. Better to study American History than to pick shrapnel and lima bean bullets from various parts of your body - in case “she blew.” But pressure cookers are no longer the … [Read more...]

Wedding Registries
By Nancy Brewer To Have and To Hold… June seems to be “wedding month” and in all the preparations, brides are making it simple for their guests to select gifts from registries. When I was married, silver and china were the most popular gifts desired. Times have changed. While silver and china rank right up there, brides are much more practical.

Boomer Pets
I suppose the lives of most Boomers can be measured with the pets we owned, and we had some doozies. As Easter approaches, I recall getting baby chickens and baby ducks – dyed in pastel colors – in our Easter baskets. It was a right of passage and there was no such thing as PETA in those days. We just had pet birds for a spell. With ducks, when they lost their dyed colors and the cute factor, … [Read more...]
A Heavenly Visit to Harmon’s
In the bible, God once told Moses to take off his sandals because the place on which the Great Lawmaker was standing was holy ground. There is a spot in West Virginia’s Grant County that I feel that way about. It’s holy ground, indeed, where God did some of his very best work. In fact, I think maybe He was showing off a little. This is spectacular country. The South Branch of the North Fork of … [Read more...]
Pasta Salad
I recall one year our church signed up to take a meal to the Salvation Army once a month. We rotated groups for what I considered to be a privilege. When it was our Sunday School class’s turn, we decided on a big ham, green beans flavored with fat back, mac and cheese, rolls and homemade chocolate chip cookies. The ham and beans were both delicious, but when folks came back for seconds, it was the … [Read more...]
