A few years back I was working as the manager/head cook of an Italian restaurant. I was working long hours, six days a week and was miserable. I took the job because I couldn’t find anything else. I had been out of work for several months and needed something. I did well enough, especially considering I had no formal training. But it didn’t change the fact that I wasn’t happy. But, the truth of the matter is, without that job I wouldn’t be where I am today. One of my regular customers was the...
There is a “little” cathedral under construction in Barcelona designed by Antoni Gaudi. The architect knew he would die before it was completed and he spent years building a model so the future engineers would know what he wanted. He was killed when he was hit crossing the street. Many people didn’t know who he was because he was dressed as a pauper, with string for suspenders holding up his britches. That was 1926. The work continues on his “baby” and “60 Minutes” did an educational a...

Pine Bluffs Hornets placed fourth in the team standing and the Lady Hornets took fifth.

Cheyenne Matthews showed up at the Wheatland Motocross Races with her new 2013 KTM 350 SX-F race bike and she was ready to ride. Almost all of her competitors are riding the newer 250cc Four Stroke bikes so her old 100cc bike was more than a little outclassed. Not anymore though. “It was a streak of pure luck that I happened to be at the Honda Dealer in Ft. Collins when this bike was brought in for a trade.” said Cheyenne’s father. “Cheyenne is just too small to pick up a bike this big and be...

This is part of a letter was written to her parents by one of the five girls, there were nine boys, on May 27, 1957, while on their 2 week senior trip on a school bus after graduation from Grover High School.

Coach said after dinner that he still tasted rotten eggs from the smell. No girls went swimming. We have really been lucky with...

Is spring finally here? By the forecast on my weather bug it seems to be. I read a comment yesterday that said “If Spring is here then you should smell like dirt at the end of the day!” I agree, only I might add, “or be up to your ankles in mud!” as is still the case in some areas at our house. My lawn needs mowed also, but I still have a swatch of snow about 2-foot wide the length of it. State testing is continuing at school and the class of 10 proud kindergarten graduates received diploma...
