Memorial Day has come and gone, but its meaning hasn't left me-not even out here in the dry heat of Boise, Idaho, where I'm currently in the thick of my Annual Training with the Army National Guard. This year, something small caught my eye-and heart. Coins, carefully placed on the headstones of military graves. It's a tradition I had noticed in the past, but only recently took the time to understand. And now that I do, I can't stop thinking about it. For those unfamiliar, the...

Water bath canning is all that is needed for most pickle recipes, requiring only a deep kettle, canning jars with lids and rings. I received the following recipe in 1987 from the now late, Marilyn Fink, and have shared it in this column several times. It’s a great r...

You know it's been a big week when the most exciting events in the county happen three blocks from your own driveway. I'm still reeling. If this past week were a movie, it would be called "Harrington: The Musical," starring classic cars, camera flashes, kids who now call me "camera lady," and a dog with a big attitude in a tiny package. It all started with something I've had on my calendar for nearly two months: speaking to the students at Harrington School-with some visitors...

As the managing editor of the Lincoln County Record Times, I usually spend my days wrangling headlines, triple-checking AP style, and chasing down quotes. But this week? This week I traded my laptop for a Cannon, and kicked off my side hustle with the most relaxed and blissful country weekend imaginable. I took part of Friday off (because, yes, even editors need a break) and headed to Quincy to photograph my first-ever wedding. That’s right—me, who usually sticks to snapping h...
