No Lies Letter to the Editor Sue Pledger is a big asset to our city. She researches & looks into most all the items that is put before the city commission. She did not cost the city any money, as stated by the one man. She also didn't say she didn't want any Gov.

Easter Upon Us… It’s a heart-shaped grave marker in the May, TX, cemetery for a not-quite 15 year-old girl who fought the good fight. On one side are Jesus’ words from the Book of John: “I am the resurrection and the life…whoever believes in Me shall never die.” On the other side are engravings of a dog and panda bear. Those closest to Katherine Marie Hester during her short life--one darkened by health complications beginning at birth--understood love’s depth for her Lord, ...

You can also substitute the cornflakes with crushed potato chips or croutons and you can use plain yogurt instead of Greek yogurt. 1 (8 oz.) sour cream 1 (5.3 oz.) container plain non-fat Greek yogurt 1 (10.7 oz) can cream of celery soup ¼ cup chopped onion 1 (32 oz.) pkg.
