I find a lot of information on the internet. Just read that a single glass of red wine is worth an hour at the gym. Gee, that’s something I need to try. What harm can it do? They say it’s good for the heart. That’s a good thing. However, there is a whole bunch of trash on the internet, too.
A Place Like No Other...
An old-timer visiting Branson, MO, for the “umpteenth” time claims visitors flock to this one-of-a-kind, out-of-the-way place for one of two reasons, and sometimes both. They’re either intent on getting away from it all or spending time where it’s all at!
You’ll please pardon the grammar, but the observations are both correct.
Easy Chicken Milanese
We are going way south of the border with this week’s recipe. The Milanese (in Italian “cotoletta alla Milanese”) is a dish common in South America countries. The Milanesa was brought to South America from Italian immigrants between 1860 and the 1920s. This dish is also similar to the Austrian Wiener Schnitzel.
The Milanesa is where generic types of breaded meat fillet (beef, chicken or veal) are dipped into bea ...
Christmas is in the air. With the beginning of advent, we focus on the reason for the season, the birth of our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
Last week I mentioned the Mason Puncher Football team. Update: Mason Punchers wanted the win Friday night. They beat Normangee 55-18. Congratulations to the Punchers.

Thankful for 57 Years...
This Thursday, as happens every eight or nine years, my birthday will fall on the same day as Thanksgiving. Of course, I'm not the only one celebrating. There's Shirley Beth Lyles, Lex Lehmberg, Pepper Kroll, Renee Ince and Roger Jordan. None of us were born the same year, so each of us will have different candle counts on our respective cakes.
In addition to the birthday, my family will also be celebrating two wed ...
We wish you all a wonderful Thanksgiving! We’ll close today at noon and will reopen Monday, Nov. 28th.

No Parking
The summer after I got out of high school I had a job at Community Service & Supply in Mason, and I got to work with some interesting people. One of them was an older fellow named Ray, who didn’t talk a lot, but when he did talk he said things.
It’s time to talk Turkey. However, I’d rather talk a rib eye steak! Turkey is traditional, so Turkey it is. The sides that are traditional really are good. Potatoes, (Irish, for me) Pies, cakes and the Pink Stuff salad are my favorites. Gravy is okay, but if you put the gizzards and lizards in it, I’ll pass.
So, I guess you’d call me a “Sides” person at Thanksgiving.
Memories of ‘Roughing It’...
Reflections at Thanksgiving abound, and participants gaining most from the season are of one accord--filling their hearts with precious memories of loved ones and friends. We cherish warm remembrances, including those that made us laugh then--and make us laugh now.
For many, there are happy thoughts of times in the great outdoors, perhaps now decades old.
