Fults Folks
Cory And Grace Tie The Knot
by Judy Krebel Can’t say this every day, but the folks in the southern part of the county are luckier than everyone living up north. The bad windstorm that rocked the region last week pretty much blew around us Fults folks. I’ve heard so many stories from family and friends about the magnitude of the …
Life Goes On During Pandemic
Well, for better or worse we are all surviving this pandemic. Hunkered down each day with the hope of a vaccine at some point in our future. For a day or two, though, I thought it was going to be a bS week as I dealt with one challenge after another. First the railroad along …
Family Life Still Goes On
By Judy Krebel Despite all the Fourth of July cancellations, I hope you all had a great holiday weekend. I sat on my front porch to see a firework display across the river. Thank you, Missourians! Family life still goes on during the pandemic. Jared Weber and Cathy Jackson were married June 26 at the …
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
There have been many Fults area events cancelled because of the pandemic. Folks are still deciding whether to cancel or keep planning their summer get-togethers. People are also very creative during these days of semi-quarantine. There have been drive-bys for birthdays and graduations. My grandchildren have spent a lot more time riding their bicycles and …
Getting By Through Trying Times
So many people are going through closets, corners of basements, and forgotten drawers – places that haven’t seen daylight in years. From my family I have gotten many emails and texts containing pictures with the message, “Remember this?” I hate the circumstances, but rekindling memories has been kind of fun. Even without a traditional ceremony, …
Getting Into The Corona Routine
The events taking place this spring have made for very different ways of making it through each day. I am so glad to be able to communicate with family and friends via phone calls, emails, texts and face time. I’ve noticed a lot of people sharing pictures online. The hardest thing for me has been …

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 …
