https://youtu.be/EUx9dY9wDvo This morning it was crystal clear, I could respond in love or react in fear. I awoke with an attitude, That unfortunately, was very rude, I thought, “I don’t have time to help decorate, Because once again, I am running late.

Annual Asparagus Festival

Even if we told them we still had plenty, my dad would say something like, "It will keep for years, and you …
The Hastings Senior Citizens Center
There was quite a spread served-up today at the weekly Wednesday lunch (as usual) and thankfully a handful of people walked in right at noon, helping to keep the Hastings Senior Citizen’s Center open. Six bucks is all it costs to have a home-cooked meal, including dessert and an ice tea or ice water. The …
