Boxtown Barnie Has Died
By Judy Krebel Jimmy Doyle came to my rescue a couple weeks ago. He’s always doing something nice for somebody – and this time it was for a groundhog. Earlier this month, Doyle was driving by my place and noticed a newly-dead animal sitting in the middle of Bluff Road. Jimmy was concerned that someone …
The Stork Is Busy In Fults
By Judy Krebel Ashley was treated to a drive-by baby shower on June 6. (You know, I am starting to like, or at least get used to, the drive-by showers and birthdays. One thing I miss, though, is the great food served at the gatherings.) My granddaughter Klaire Wittenbrink was baptized June 14 during an …
Time To Venture Out A Bit

Even without a traditional ceremony, …

Sis Darlene Yancey Celebrates 86th
Fults Phil made his annual prediction outside his den up from Merrill Prange’s church. The Editor was there to document the annual event, but I decided to stay home. With the sun shining bright, Phil saw his shadow, of course, and that means six more weeks of crappy weather. My math since 2001 shows that …

We’ll All Be Seeing 2020 This Year
