Autumn is my favorite garden of all. I have heard that this is the original colors of the trees, etc. God's garden is the best of all!
My favorite paper I think I have to date. It's so perfect for all my fall projects. Wish I had about 50 sheets of this stuff!
Both sides of the paper are very nice. It should have multiple uses for both cards and scrapebook pages.

Perfect timing for this article. Just got dumped on Christmas Eve after a 2 year engagement
I'm so sorry to hear this. Please take extra good care of yourself, and cook and eat whatever you want. Don't stop making delicious food. Invite over friends and let them help you through it.
@Angela!: So sorry about your news. Speaking from experience, landing on your feet is indeed the best revenge (mostly because it isn't revenge). Hang in.
I heartily recommend Judith Jones's The Pleasures of Cooking for One. Judith was Julia Child's editor and had a hand in publishing many wonderful books during her long career at Knopf, including ThenDiary of Anne Frank.
It contains many wonderful recipes and tips for the solo cook and is also a gentle manifesto for gracious and fearless living.
Thanks for the support! I will definitely check out that book.
Other good books for single cooks - Joe Yonan's "Serve Yourself" and Joyce Goldstein's "Solo Suppers". I love all three, and yes, cutting recipes down gets old, really, really fast. Judith Jones' is probably my favorite of the three.
From my experience in creating meal plans for one person, here are some tips for the solo cook:
1. Cook recipes during the week that use the same ingredients. When cooking for one, you usually don't end up using a whole can of crushed tomatoes or a full bunch of spinach for a single recipe. When you use the same ingredients in multiple recipes, it reduces food waste, you grocery bill and the time you spend shopping and cooking.
2. Use leftover ingredients in dishes like a frittata, quesadilla or stir fry. You can add almost any herbs, veggies and meat to any of those meals!
3. Double your dinner recipes to have leftovers for the following day's lunch.
If you have little time to spend on planning and cooking meals, check out www.mealime.com. It's an online subscription service that provides meal plans for one person.

ive seen several bucks stroll through my trail camera but there is no consistencey, ill go weeks without seeing one
Looks good. I've had mostly tons of does and several bucks. The bachelors are taking different routes every day where as the does are with fawns and taking more consistent predictable paths.
I'm getting mostly does as well gents, I have a couple does with fawns as well. This is the first buck my cameras have only been out a couple weeks. I thought I was going to loose my cousins 150 acre farm this year, as he planned on building cabins and leasing. He found out the cost of building the cabins and nixed that for now so I get a break at least for this season.
I passed this buck 3 times last season in hopes hed make it and be bigger well hes back cant wait

Past world champion Cadel Evans and three-time U.S. national champion George Hincapie open their seasons for the BMC Racing Team this week in one-day races in Italy.
Evans Starts Thursday
Evans said he has been training well, but enters Giro del Friuli on Thursday simply hoping to help his teammates. "There are a lot of riders who are far ahead of me in terms of physical condition," he said. "This is the latest start to a season I have had since 2004. It will be an adjustment for me, as well as those who are used to seeing me in front early in the season. People seem to forget how long and hard the cycling season is."
Hincapie Opens Saturday
George Hincapie begins his 18th professional season Saturday at Montepaschi Strade Bianche, hoping to build intensity for his classics program. "I've been at home (in Greenville, South Carolina) motorpacing four or five days a week, trying to train as hard as possible," he said. "I've had good weather, daily massages and am eating well. I feel strong – definitely a lot better than I did at this time last year." Alessandro Ballan was runner-up at Strade Bianche in 2008.

With our victories, progressive now have heightened ability to advance our own narratives and messaging. A major example: Elizabeth Warren's version of a "balanced approach" to deficit reduction.
In a key debate moment, Warren geniusly redefined this phrase that is normally associated with destructive Social Security and Medicare benefit cuts:
WARREN: It's going to take a balanced approach. I believe we need to make cuts, we need to make cuts to agriculture subsidies. We need to make cuts in our defense budget, targeted cuts. We need to end the war in Afghanistan, that's $2 billion a week. We need to cut fraud and abuse out of the system. But we also need to ask others to pay their fair share. I believe that billionaires should pay taxes at least at the same rate that their secretaries do.
Using spending cuts to take on the big guy instead of the little guy is a "balanced approach" progressives -- and the majority of Americans -- can live with! And it's an appropriate approach, given that our deficit is caused primarily by the Bush tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans, two wars, and Wall Street's irresponsibility.
In another debate moment, Warren stated, "I want to make clear. I will not go to Washington to cut Social Security or Medicare benefits." Other senators like Tammy Baldwin (D-WI), Sherrod Brown (D-OH), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), and Mazie Hirono (D-HI) have also promised no cuts to Social Security and Medicare benefits.
In fact, in an interview this week, Baldwin went so far as to say Social Security benefits "shouldn't even be on the table" for discussion. (Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid first declared his support for this postition at an event with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee.)
Sometimes, it's tough to know when our actions make a difference in our democracy. But, as progressives across America look back at the millions of dollars we donated, the millions of calls we made, and the millions of doors we knocked in 2012 -- and then look at the way our progressive "lions" are reframing the day's debates -- we can be very proud.
This is what bold progressive leadership looks like.

The rapid-fire prologue kick off to the first ProTour stage race of the year for BMC went well as the team's four leaders were able to stay within a handful of seconds of the day's winner, Columbia's Frantisek Rabon.
By placing 6 riders within 16 seconds of the current race leader, BMC can confidently look to starting the meat of the course on Wednesday with multiple options for their attacking system.
Short but tricky course
"Romandie is a perfect stage race because it offers everything in only five days of racing," John Lelangue said. "It is always a very open race and we have come expecting to be able to fulfil our team goals." Though prologues are always violent efforts, the pre-race word regarding Tuesday's course was that it would be dead-flat and not too technical. In fact, the ride turned out to be much more complicated than that. Many pre-race favourites were caught out by a section of false-flat which lasted for nearly a kilometer. "It was not an overly difficult time trial, but you obviously had to go a block for the whole 3 km," Lelangue said. "We are happy with where our guys finished even if they didn't quite crack the top 10 today. It was a good result for us and we still have our GC riders very well placed." The course may have actually played to the strengths of BMC's leaders, favouring anyone who can power up a rise and still have enough left in the gas tank to finish off the flatter section of the course. Alex Moos managed to stay within 7 seconds of the winner while Mathias Frank, BMC's young climber was just a second slower. Brent Bookwalter, Markus Zberg, Jeff Louder and Ian MckIssick were all able to finish within seconds of each other.
Looking forward to the main event
With the prologue in the bag, the team's attention turns to how to make the biggest impact on the race while giving themselves the best opportunity to finish high in the overall standings. "There are a lot of short stage race contenders at the even this year," Lelangue said. "Last year this was our first ever ProTour race and so our primary objective was to go on the offensive, but this year we have come with different goals. We are confident that we have the right mix of guys to make the necessary leap in competitiveness." With three categorized climbs packed into stage 1, the BMC climbers will not have long to wait to see who will become the designated leader for the race. "Tomorrow is really a tough day with very difficult climbs and a big selection will certainly be made," Lelangue said. "It was important not to lose too many seconds today and it is good to see the guys are all ready and very motivated for the rest of the event."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Our take on the MAXSA 40227 Solar-powered LED Floodlight by Meredith Krebs Coming back home after dark, it's comforting to know that this motion-activated light will automatically turn on when you pull into your driveway. You can even set the timer so the light stays on long enough for you to negotiate a path strewn with toys and see to slip your key in the lock. The light is solar-powered, so you don't have to pay an electrician to hook it up or pay big electric bills. Just use the supplied cable to connect the solar panel to the floodlight. The sun's rays will charge its built-in battery so the light is ready when you need it.

Features Dimensions Features Overview: The MAXSA Solar Motion-Activated Security Light (item # 40227) is powered by the supplied external Solar Panel and is activated by passive infrared motion sensors. The Solar Motion-Activate Wedge Light is easy to install, and perfect for decks, patios, balconies, entrance doors, garages, driveways, carports, walkways, backyards, farm sheds, pool areas, and stairs. External Solar Panel: The supplied external Solar Panel charges through the day and coverts direct sunlight to electricity to charge the battery inside the Security Light. The Solar Panel connects to the Security Light via its attached 15' power cord. The Solar Panel features a durable weatherproof housing to protect it in all weather conditions. The Solar Panel has an adjustable head so it can mounted either on a flat or angled surface or rooftop. The Solar Panel is mounted using the supplied mounting screws and wall-anchors. The Solar Panel should be mounted in an area where it can receive 6-8 hours of daylight per day. Note: Before its initial use, the MAXSA 40227 should be left in the direct sunlight to charge for three days. Motion Activated Security Light: Using the stored energy from the connected Solar Panel, the 80 Super Bright LEDs inside the Security Light turn on automatically at night when motion is detected. The Security Light's 80 Super Bright LEDs illuminates a broad coverage area at 250 total lumens. When the battery is fully charged, this Solar Security Light can activate up to 180 30-second intervals. The Security Light features a swivel head which allows the lamp to rotate 360 degrees and angle up/down or left/right. The Motion Activated Solar Security Light features the following adjustment settings: Time Period Adjustment: The time period control sets the duration that the Solar Security Light will be illuminated when activated. The time period is adjustable over a range of 10 seconds to 1 minute. Motion Sensor Adjustment: The sensitivity of the motion sensor of this Solar Security Light will be affected by temperature. The Security Light's motion sensor has a field of vision of 120 degrees at a distance of 25 feet, when the surrounding temperature is 75 degrees. The cooler the temperature the more sensitive the motion sensor will become. Use this adjustment to set the sensitivity of the motion sensor to compensate for environmental temperature changes. Light Level Adjustment: The LUX dial controls the natural light level that initiates operation and prevents the Security Light from operating during daylight hours. Note: The LED lights in the Solar Security Light (40227) will last up to 30,000 hours and should never need replacement. Rechargeable Batteries: Included in the Security Light are three AAA 2100mAh Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) rechargeable batteries. These batteries should last for approximately 3 years.

Best invention ever. I live in Hawaii with sunny days all year round. These lights are perfect. I have 5 of them all around the perimeter of my house. My daughter lives in the mountain on the North Shore where it gets pitch black at night. We bought some for her too. It's really nice when you come home at night and the lights come on when you walk up to your gate and around the house. Energy/money savings are a bonus. Highly recommend them. Pros: Saves money, saves energy, self sustaining, bright, super easy to install Cons: Wish they had a switch to stay on longer Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Maxsa 4227 Solar-powered LED Floodlight Written By Sharonna, Ocean City, MD on Saturday, January 26, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was surprised at how bright this light is, I really didn't expect this much light from a solar-powered light. So far it works great and I plan on buying another one in a few months for the other side of my house. Pros: Bright light, easy to install. Cons: None 2 out of 3 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good but not great Written By Jonathan B, Hinsdale, IL on Friday, February 10, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Based on the solid reviews, I purchased this light to use in my backyard for when the dog goes outside at night. Love the fact that it doesn't require any hard wiring and setup was a breeze! One and only knock is that I expected better illumination of the yard... it adds light but no where like a wired flood light would. I'd recommend this for security or to shine at an entrance (to unlock a door in an otherwise dark space) but if you're looking to light up your whole yard, there are probably better choices. Pros: Quick and Easy Installation No elecrtrical wiring needed Good appearance / quality Cons: Not bright enough to illuminate like a hard wired flood light would 6 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Fantastic Written By John N., Kansas City, MO. on Monday, June 06, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Have had this product installed for over 7 months now. Absolutely love it -- very, very bright, good throw and looks great. Works every night like clockwork, without fail. As Jon B mentioned above, It does take a bit of fidgeting to get the sensitivity where you want it -- so it doesn't come on too often but yet it does when you need it. I'd say that's the one thing about this light is it takes some time to do this -- and it's a bit awkward since you'll probably have to be on a ladder to do it. You might have to do it on successive nights as well -- I had it set where I thought I wanted it, then had to go back the next night and retweak. There is a hotspot also, it's brightest in the center of the illumination dims outward from there, but even so it's still very very bright even outside of the hotspot. Haven't had the water problem mentioned above, but our light is mounted under an overhang so it doesn't get much weather. We looked at many lights before buying this one here and have no regrets and would not hesitate to buy it again or recommend it 100%. An excellent product! 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 One flaw noted Written By FredS, LI, NY on Monday, January 17, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Would have given full five stars if not for fact lens is not water-tight and allows rain/snow melt to enter the lens and collect on inside bottom of lamp. I drilled small weep hole at bottom of lens to drain. Lens should have been properly sealed by manufacturer. 12 out of 12 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 The hands down best of solar security lamps Written By Jon B, Hamilton, New Jersey on Tuesday, October 26, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I bought two of these because of the price point on this site. The aluminum casing attracted me because I live in the Northeast and I want these things to last for a while. They are easy to set up and install. But it will take a few days to get your motion sensor sensitivity at your desired response level. Yes, this is the brightest solar powered light I have ever seen, it easily rivals my neighbors electric powered security flood light for the brightest. If you have a three story house and you hang them high up, the light will cover about a 30 foot radius, the light will not cover your entire back yard or drive way.......so I am glad I purchased two. Great product, no need to keep looking. 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Where is this product made?

Kitchen Tour: Jessica's Soulful Rental Kitchen
What gives a kitchen soul? What makes it look like a place you'd like to hang out in, spend some time stirring up a sauce or a batch of homemade bread? We show you all kinds of amazing, expensive kitchens here — like Piper's Dream-to-Reality Kitchen, from earlier this week — but we also love to celebrate the smaller, more modest places that many of us call home. Rental kitchens, even, like this cozy, soulful space where reader Jessica cooks. See how she used artwork and a few homey touches to turn this little space into the heart of her home.
Jessica lives in Quincy, MA. When she wrote to me to share her kitchen, she explained, "Our place is a rental, so our ability to change much in the way of aesthetics is limited, but our kitchen has a good stove, ample counter space, lots of windows and a whole lot of soul." Sounds a lot like the rental kitchens I've inhabited all my life, too — and probably you could say the same! Every kitchen gets its charm and soul from those who use it, but this is perhaps more apparent in rental kitchens.
Any kitchen, whether it's a modest rental or a dream space, customized to within an inch of its life, should be a place you love to cook, and a place you love to hang out. As Jess says, "This kitchen is used constantly. I cook at home because I love it, and to gather material for my personal blog. There is no place I would rather be on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon."
And that's really the best praise a kitchen can have. Read on for a few questions for Jessica about her kitchen, including one of the best pieces of kitchen advice we've ever had in our questionnaires!
10 Questions for Jessica (and Her Kitchen)
1. What inspires your kitchen and your cooking?
All the ladies in my family. My mom, aunts, cousins and of course, my sister. We are SO into our food. The best place to be is in the kitchen, around the counter, cooking, eating and cackling at each other's jokes. My sister once left me a seven minute voicemail about a soup she had just made and how good it was. That's what kind of girls we are. We spend our entire dinner hour talking about other food we have eaten, places we have eaten, things we have cooked and what we're going to eat next.
I'm also drawn to certain ingredients depending on who I am cooking for. If I'm having a particular friend over for dinner and I know something they really love, I'll use that as inspiration and go from there.
2. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
My favorite element of our space has to be the two walls of windows. This place is drunk with light all day long. It's just the kind of spot you want to hang out in and my absolute favorite place to be on a weekend afternoon (unless it's beach weather).
As far as tools go, it's a three way tie between my industrial grade skillet, chef's knife and immersion blender. Also, dish towels. I punish them on a daily basis and use them for everything.
3. What's the most memorable meal you've ever cooked in this kitchen?
Shortly after we moved in we invited a bunch of friends over for St. Patrick's Day. It was on a Tuesday that year. It was fun because the food was simple and delicious; there were plenty of beers and a really good crowd. I made a Guinness Shepherd's Pie and some Chocolate Stout Cupcakes with Bailey's Frosting. My mom made Irish soda bread which we slathered with lots of Kerry Gold. It was a really fun way to break up the week.
Also, any Sunday breakfast at home. I teach (yoga) several nights a week and Paul practices with his band, so we rarely eat dinner at home, together. Sunday mornings are a good excuse to sit down at the table for a while, drink too much coffee and reconnect.
4. The biggest challenge for cooking in your kitchen:
The biggest challenges I face are: keeping stuff (my crap) from accumulating on the kitchen table during the week (i.e. jackets, purses, cell phone chargers and mail); also organizing cookie sheets and baking dishes. Don't open those lower right cabinet doors, man. It's like a Jenga of various cookware and I am the only person on earth who knows how and why it fits together.
5. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
We rent, so there's not much we can do in the way of permanent renovations. We have been able to make some small adjustments and enhancements to make the space nicer. Removing the cabinet door to expose the shelves and dishes was a really easy thing that had a large aesthetic impact. Also, incorporating lots of artwork and showing off colorful dishes and appliances ups the cozy factor.
There are only two things I really dislike in my kitchen: the cabinet doors, which are made of un-sanded, painted plywood (this means everything that touches them snags or gets a splinter). Also, the "tile" backsplash seriously hurts my feelings. It's rough, white ceramic that looks like it has been drawn on with blue crayons. I try not to let it bother me, but truth be told it's the first thing I would take a sledge hammer to.
6. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen:
Nothing really! Everything I own, I feel like, is either thrifted or gifted. My plates are from a flea market; my pots, pans and kitchen table were my Nana's; silverware was pilfered from roommates that moved out and left it; my food processor was a gift from my mom (and a floor model so it was a steal); the stand mixer, my dad gave me for Christmas last year and my knives were a gift from my aunt, who is extremely generous and wanted to support my cooking and writing, so she hooked me up with some fancy cutlery that I could have never afforded on my own.
I feel extremely lucky because I have everything I need and I've never really had to break the bank. Getting indulgent for me is hitting the "fancy" grocery store antipasto bar on a Friday night without worrying about what it costs. That's my idea of a good time!
7. Is there anything you hope to add or improve in your kitchen?
A dishwasher would, without a doubt, have a huge impact on our quality of life. I like to cook all the time, but sometimes I hesitate because I'm soooo sick of doing dishes. I'd also love a Gel Pro mat, because I cook barefoot for hours at a time and I think my aching knees would thank me.
If we owned this space or were given carte blanche to remodel it, we would keep the layout as it is and just class up some elements: white subway tile on the backsplash, a nice deep farmer's sink, concrete countertops and ditch the drop ceiling and overhead fluorescent lights.
8. How would you describe your cooking style?
Simple, savory and easy going. Less is more. Do not fear butter and salt. I like to use good ingredients and try not to screw with them too much. I cook mostly vegetables and whole grains; sometimes fish or chicken, but rarely meat. Cool months yield lots of soups; warm months mean grilling out and making delicious salads. I use recipes or ideas as a loose framework and then just do what feels right. Unless I'm baking, in which case I try to be precise, because I know how that can go south, fast.
I get a whole lot of joy out of cooking and I'm careful to keep it that way. Sometimes this means I have to tell myself "Jess, don't be a hero." It's fun to try new things, but I don't cook to impress others. It should be fun to get ready for a party; I shouldn't be sweating over 17 different types of fancy appetizers swearing my head off in the kitchen when everyone will just end up eating the pigs in a blanket anyways. I try to remember to enjoy myself, even if I have to be reminded twice.
9. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
Last Thanksgiving I made the world's worst pie. I mean a disaster of epic proportions. My Aunt Sally was like, "A little garnish of whipped cream and you should be good." Then she looked at me and said, "You know 'garnish' is French for 'f*ck up', right?" That's probably the best cooking tip I've ever heard.
10. What are you cooking this week?
The answer to this question will always be pizza. On Saturday, I tried my hand at the Skillet Lemon Soufflé in Cook's Best Skillet Recipes (surprisingly simple!). I'm headed out of town on Thursday morning, so I will probably be scraping from the cupboard shelves as an effort to not buy groceries (which means pasta).

This is a lot like my kitchen, in the apartment I rent in a 100-year-old house. I also can't do much to it and it's funky, but I adore it. There's so much personality and so many memories - there is no other kitchen like it. This is the first of these posts I've really been able to relate to, so thank you :)
Soul indeed. My family is like yours- passionate about food--textures, quality of ingredients, smells, just the whole experience. My sister and I swooned the first time we made pierogi using my grandmother's recipe and they turned out beautifully-- and we just couldn't get over her description that the dough was ready when it was "heavy and soft like a down pillow"--we kept saying, "Does it feel like a pillow?" "Not yet." "Maybe we didn't get it quite right." "How long do you think it will take?" And then suddenly, "Oh my god! It feels EXACTLY like a pillow!"
Anyway, I think your use of lamps is lovely-- anytime there's a table with a lamp in a kitchen I just instantly sense there's a real cook there, and probably a reader as well, my favorite combination!
Luved ur kitchen Jessica :)
That pot rack idea is genius. The place I'm moving into next month has real cabinet space, thank Ceiling Cat, but if I find myself in a apartment/house without it, I now know what to do.
Wow - what a homey kitchen with so much personality. Looks like a great place to hang out. Thanks for sharing your space. I miss seeing things like this on AT, which has, inevitably, I suppose, gone kind of upscale and sleek.
Thanks for the nice feedback guys! I'm so happy to share my spot.
@Francois- that pillow story is a riot. Now I guess I'll know what to do if I try my hand at pierogis!
@Dimmie- the pot rack is the best. It not only is super functional, it also looks pretty cool. You can get peg board at any hardware store. My dad classed it up a bit by putting a piece of crown molding at the top and painting the whole thing white, but when we were growing up, our pot rack was just the standard brown. They both look good and you can move the hooks around. It's seriously terrific.
So, so, so cute!!!
I love, love, LOVE this. "Soulful" is exactly the right word. This looks like such a cozy, welcoming place to hang out!

For the first time in computing history, it's possible for machines to learn from experience and penetrate the complexity of data to identify associations. The field is called cognitive analyticsTM —inspired by how the human brain processes information, draws conclusions, and codifies instincts and experience into learning.
Instead of depending on predefined rules and structured queries to uncover answers, cognitive analytics relies on technology systems to generate hypotheses, drawing from a wide variety of potentially relevant information and connections. Unlike in traditional analysis, the more data fed to a machine learning system, the more it can learn, resulting in higher-quality insights.
Cognitive analytics can push past the limitations of human cognition, allowing us to process and understand big data in real time, undaunted by exploding volumes of data or wild fluctuations in form, structure, and quality. For organizations that want to improve their ability to sense and respond, cognitive analytics offers a powerful way to bridge the gap between the promise of big data and the reality of practical decision making.
Rajeev Ronanki, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP, shares an example of how a national healthcare plan applied cognitive analytics to gain new insights, helping to improve the efficiency and accuracy of their predictions.

We sure have been blessed here in Clay County.
We sure have been blessed here in Clay County. It's almost Christmas time and its 60 degrees here today. But we don't know how long the pretty weather will last. Enjoy it while we can.
A lot of folks have put up the pretty lights around their homes. The city has done a good job putting up the decorations and lights at town, they are so pretty. The children like to see them. Christmas is a wonderful time of the year, its Christ's birthday, when our Savior was born.
The grandbaby got some of the things he wanted for Christmas. He wanted a pony, a bridle and saddle and he got them. He likes the pony and has already rode the pony. A boy needs a pony here on the farm. He is a good boy, he likes going to Sunday school and church. He acts like a grown up and everyone at the church loves him. So many children don't even know who Jesus is because they have never been to Sunday school or church.
Our prayers go out to all of the families that lost their children at the school where a young man killed his mother and 26 more at the school, 20 were young children. We wonder what gets in people's mind to do awful things like this.
Remember the James Brown family. James and I were good friends. Our prayers go out to them, he surely will be missed. Some folks are still sick and need prayer: Waymon and Joyce Mills, Lee Hicks and Edgar Lawson.
Some folks are having birthdays this week: Shane Gibson, Jordan Sizemore, Victor Gregory and Oakley Ray Gregory on Christmas day. Happy anniversaries go out to George and Fay Blair, Donald Lee and Anna Hubbard, Harold and Trish Smith, and Lee and Lillie Mae Hicks. So to you all, may the good Lord bless each of you to have many more. We love you all, from all your families and friends.
Tina Ann Sheets wants to say hello to her grandson Jaxson Smith and we would like to say hello and a merry Christmas to our family up Michigan way and up Indiana way too. From our house to yours, we wish for you all the best Christmas ever. May the good Lord bless you and God bless America and may He forever hold you in his hands.

Well folks, I'm sorry about not getting to put my column in the paper last week. I was sick again, but I'm better now. Thank you all for calling me about my little write up as we think about Christmas. It's a wonderful thing. It's Christ's birthday, when Jesus was born.
Too many have forgotten the true reason for the season. I know it's good for families to get together and many exchange gifts, but we all should be glad that Jesus was born to be our Savior.
Today, we hear of so many bad things happen in the world and the country we live in. I can tell you that God loves all mankind and he will help you if you want Him to. We all have choices to make. I trust that you will choose Jesus. What would we do without Him or where could we go. Friends, it's a thought.
I want to thank you all for the pretty Christmas cards that we got. The grand baby is growing so fast. We went to Sunday school and church too. He likes going, he plays his guitar and sings too. Today, not many parents take their children to Sunday school or church. It would make a difference in their homes and their families.
This week, birthday wishes go out for Dakota Daugh Sizemore, Jaden Eli Broughton, Kassie Williams, Donald Lee Hubbard Jr, Ethel Mae Jackson and Toby Tate Scrivner. Hope you have a great one and may the Lord bless you to have many more, from all of our family to you.
A lot of people are sick and in need of prayer: James Brown, Waymon and Joyce Mills, Edgar Lawson and Lee Hicks. Our prayers go out to the Brown family. James and Carol Brown sure need prayers, as they lost a daughter this past week and James is in the Lexington Hospital at this time. They have had their share of sorrow, so pray for them and the ones in the hospitals, the nursing homes and for all those that have lost a loved one.
Well, I'll stop for this time. May the good Lord bless and keep you and may He forever hold you in His hands.

Well, Thanksgiving has come and gone and we had plenty of company through the holiday and we had enough turkey and ham for everyone. Nobody left hungry. We thank the good Lord for His blessings and His goodness.
My wife sure likes to cook, and she sure is a good cook. She can make homemade biscuits like my mother used to make. I call them cathead biscuits. I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving.
Well, the next holiday will be Christmas. That is Christ's birthday. The Lord is so good to us all, we are so blessed here in America. Look at the other countries, war everywhere.
I'll say one thing, America needs to turn back to God. I wonder myself how long will God keep on Blessing us. The Bible says that the nations that forgot God will perish. God has all power. Seems like we are at ease. We all should be watching for his coming and I believe that we are living in the last days. Any more, people don't want to go to church and there is a great falling away.
Well, some folks are still sick and need prayer: James Brown and his daughter Sonya Dezarn, Edgar Lawson, Waymon and Joyce Mills, Landon McDaniels, Inez Smith and Von Minton. So pray for all these people, they need a touch from the Lord.
Happy birthday wishes go out to Gary Roberts. May the good Lord bless you to have many more.
I'm looking for a pony for the grandbaby. If you have one that is gentle for a 3 year old to ride, call me at 598-6348. I'll truly appreciate it.
I want to thank everyone for reading my little column each week. Well, I'll stop for this time. Pray for the ones in the hospitals, the nursing homes and for the ones that have lost a loved one. May the good Lord bless and keep you and may He forever hold you in His hands.
Tuesday, 20 November 2012 14:08
We all should be thankful everyday for God's goodness, not just on the holidays. God has blessed us here in Clay County, look at the other states where so many things have happened. You know the Lord could send destruction on us too. We are so blessed, we should count our blessings everyday.
We had a good singing Saturday night. The grandbaby enjoyed Robert Turberfield as he played the banjo for him. He sure likes gospel bluegrass. You should see his little fingers as he tries to play his banjo.
Wednesday, 14 November 2012 02:10
Thanksgiving will be here next week and families everywhere will be together for this holiday, but we are to give thanks everyday and today is Veterans Day. So many brave men and women gave their lives for our freedom and we are to honor them.
Well, we have had some cold mornings this past week and most of the leaves are gone off of the trees. As I've always said, its good to have friends. I want to thank Roger Samples for helping me to start the truck. Roger's dad and I worked together on the Highway Department. They are good people, so when you see somebody you know that needs help, help them if you can. Be a good neighbor.
The Roots Branch Church will be having their monthly singing this Saturday night starting at 7 p.m. Everyone is welcome to attend.
The grandbaby is growing so fast. He likes his big jeep and he sure can drive it. He is in the yard and around the barn and garden with his jeep, he keeps me busy charging it up, and he likes to play with his little boat on the pond. he runs my legs off keeping up with him. He sure is a smart little fellow.
A lot of people are still sick and need prayer: Waymon and Joyce Mills, Edgar Lawson, James Brown and Denver Smith.
Happy Birthday wishes go out this week to Brooke Ann Dieson, James D. Hicks and John Wiley Sibert. Also, happy belated birthday to Goldie Griffin. Feeling mighty fine, hit the big 59, from family and friends. We wish for all of you the best birthday ever and may the good Lord bless you all to have many more.
Remember the ones in the hospitals, the nursing homes and the ones that have lost a loved one. We wish for everyone a happy and safe Thanksgiving, from our home to yours. May the good Lord bless and keep you, and may He forever hold you in His hands.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (April 23, 2012)—The late Bob Wheeler, who won 273 races at Betfair Hollywood Park, and Ghostzapper, who earned the first win of his brilliant career here, are among the four 2012 inductees into the National Museum of Racing's Hall of Fame.
Results of the voting by members of the Hall of Fame panel were revealed Monday. Besides Wheeler and Ghostzapper, the other inductees are jockey John Velazquez and trainer Roger Attfield.
Wheeler, who trained for more than half a century (1938-1992), won 1,336 races. Of those, 51 were stakes victories at Betfair Hollywood Park, including five in the Hollywood Juvenile Championship, four in the Cinderella Stakes and two in the Hollywood Gold Cup – Dotted Swiss (1960) and Cadiz (1963) – Hollywood Oaks, Hollywood Lassie (which is now known as the Landaluce), Milady, Railbird and Vanity Handicap.
One of the Vanity victories was provided by Silver Spoon in 1960. A member of the Hall of Fame, Silver Spoon won 10 stakes as a 3 and 4-year-old, including a victory over males in the 1959 Santa Anita Derby.
Owned by Frank Stronach and trained by Bobby Frankel, Ghostzapper, who earned his maiden victory by nine lengths Nov. 16, 2002 at Betfair Hollywood Park, finished with nine wins in 11 starts and earnings of $3,446,120.
The son of Awesome Again and the Relaunch mare Baby Zip was Horse of the Year and Champion Older Male of 2004, a 4-for-4 campaign he concluded with a record-setting victory in the Breeders' Cup Classic. Ghostzapper covered the 1 ¼ miles at Lone Star Park in 1:59.02.
The Eclipse Award winner as outstanding jockey in 2004 and 2005, Velazquez currently has over 4,800 victories with earnings of more than $263 million. He picked up his first Kentucky Derby win a year ago with longshot Animal Kingdom and won the 2007 Belmont Stakes with the filly Rags to Riches.
Voted Canada's outstanding trainer a record eight times and the conditioner of three Canadian Triple Crown winners (Izvestia, With Approval and Peteski), Attfield has 1,731 wins and purse earnings of more than $88 million.
Wheeler, Ghostzapper, Velazquez and Attfield will be inducted into the Hall of Fame during a ceremony at the Fasig Tipton sales pavilion Aug. 10 in Saratoga Springs, N.Y.
