This year's school musical at the Odessa schools was one of the best we have witnessed on the stage of the multi-purpose room. The singing, the acting, the costumes and staging were all very well done. Something new this year, though, was the youngsters in the crowd scenes who were coached to act as if they were doing something as part of the scene, not just stand and stare at the audience or the other performers. It was a very nice touch, and the kids involved were given an...

Snow drops are blooming and we are past the vernal equinox, so it must be spring. Sunny days whet our taste buds for the fruits of summer, but the local berries, vegetables and fruits are still a few months in the future. Maybe this is why lemon flavored recipes come to the fore in springtime. Coincidentally, the first of the gluten free recipes to come along in response to my request on behalf of gluten free diet readers is lemon based. Merleen Smith shared the recipe for...

“God will never give you anything you can’t handle.” -Kelly Clarkson It’s pretty easy to do one thing at a time. Two things? No problem. Three or four, even? Sure! It’s not hard to multi-task; you do one or two things here and there and, a little at a time, everything gets done. But, sometimes, we try to do everything all at once; that’s when we experience problems. Sometimes, when faced with a series of tasks, it seems like a really good idea, at first, to do everything all at once. That way you won’t have anything to do lat...

I have seen too many people always choosing the same thing, the same methods, the same path they travel every time. It pains me to see so few people who are willing to try new things. One of these things is “the usual”. When I go out to eat or see a character on TV and they ask for “the usual”, it bothers me probably m...
