Roast Tongue I figured this week’s recipe would get your attention and I don’t imagine most of you will be going home to prepare this dish for supper. However, I thought it would be a fun recipe to share. It might bring back some fond memories for some of you. It actually brings back good memories for me.
The men of the Art United Methodist Church outdid themselves Sunday. We were treated to a delicious barbeque dinner with all the trimmings. For your calendar: Class Meetings continue at the parsonage on Tuesday evenings. Soup is served at 6 and the meeting is from 6:30 to 7:30. Mission team will meet on February 20 at 6.
Ever wake up and not know where you are? Well, if that happens read the classifieds. You’ll know in a minute where you are. Or at least, where you’re not. You’ll know for sure you aren’t in Houston or Dallas or on the other side of the world. Just read the classified ads in the local paper. That would be Mason County News (one of the oldest papers in Texas). For instance: Angus Bulls for sale. Doubt that’s a big seller in Detroit. Round and square hay bales for sale. Anyone in Chicago ...
   One Person Doesn't Do It All....  In a week, the Mason County Chamber of Commerce will hold its annual awards banquet honoring the business and civic leaders of our community. Just as we've done for years, the News will be there to record the moment and to help in honoring these individuals and organizations so that everyone else in the community will be able to share the moment. I've been fortunate enough to have received some of those awards over the years; ...
It has been a few weeks now, but the other day my family and I were sitting around sharing stories about the past. We do that a lot, and most of the time we tell the same stories over and over again. This time was different. Brogan reminded us of the night before he started Pre-k.
Health Care To my fellow citizens, neighbors, clients, and friends, Twelve years ago, when I left Dallas and my job in academic, urban medicine (working with an incredible team of physicians and healthcare professionals), I was daunted by the responsibility that faced me as, essentially, the sole provider of medical care in rural Mason County.
First, I apologize for the mistake in the article about June Hall’s Embroidery Class—it will meet on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The library is continuing our food drive for the Mason Food Bank until the end of February. We’re collecting canned tomatoes and tomato sauce. This drive offers an opportunity to “love your neighbors” and” feed the hungry.” You can treat yourself to a good movie, book, CD book, or magazine while you’re here! Audiobooks: Troublemaker by ...
Several years ago I wrote a column about a fellow who had moved to Arizona from New York or someplace, and was therefore unfamiliar with life in The West. Coyotes made off with the Yankee’s pet, I think it was a poodle or something, and he was upset. I mean the Yankee was upset, not the poodle.
Valentines Day? This may be a bit ahead of the game, but all men aren’t on the same time frame. So, this is mostly for the procrastinators! First, never ever ask your love, “What do you want to do or get for Valentines Day!” If you do and she says, “Nothing!” You’d best get her something or do something special on Valentines Day.
Education at a Gallop... They’re mere “blips” on the screen of educational innovation, now in a handful of major cities. Their name sounds like a house number, and youngsters therein are challenged to “dig deep” as a core of teachers--largely volunteers--help children 6-18 express themselves through--of all things--writing. These store front centers (for want of a better word) are attention-grabbers, front to back.
