A Moment Out of the Norm: Dog Show
A moment out of the norm. “Grinda” is a rescued pup. She is a hoot! She is a Welsh Corgi Pembroke. She has short legs and long ears. She also has our hearts and pride of ownership streaming all around her. Yesterday was her moment to shine. Well, we all take that idea differently… the car for example shining moment would be a wax job. The house’s shine would be a spring cleaning. The shining moment for our dog Grinda: an entry in a dog show. No kidding!Mrs. Becky Kissinger, teacher at Christian High School in Grand Rapids, MI, led an interim class on the subject of ‘dogs’. The class…

Register to Vote /TODAY/
Did you know that deployed it takes about 45 days for deployed military personnel and military & families stationed overseas to register to vote absentee, receive their ballot and mail it back in? That means that they have until September 23rd to request their absentee ballot. If they register after September 23rd the deployed solider very likely will not receive an absentee ballot to vote in the November 6th general election. These are the people that are fighting every day for the American people. Defending our rights of freedom, choice, and opinion. It only seems right that we do our part to ensure they get the right to vote. Deployed personnel must fill out the Federal Post…

Season Passes and Getting to know the community
I love our area zoo. It’s not the biggest zoo I’ve ever been to (I’ve been to a few GREAT ones) but for our area it is nice sized. It is a great place to visit when we need a change of pace and it has an indoor ‘Rainforest’ so even during the winter we find ourselves packing up and spending a few hours with the animals. The boys love watching the otters, the toads, and creeping their momma out with the snakes. But individual tickets are expensive – $5 to $10 a person. Maybe that isn’t terrible if you make a family-day of it but if you just want to…

Spring Bunny Rolls
Spring is finally here. It is outside – the proof is tulips poking out, daffodil spiking up, hyacinths branching out. Color will soon be where decaying oak leaves blanketed the bulbs. So, watch out!Those pesky rabbits will be chomping on the leaves and blossoms as they appear. I say turn about is fair play… chomp on the rabbit. Not being a hunter… I vote for bunny rolls. Yeasty rabbit rolls served piping hot with cold sweet butter. Nice 3/4 c milk1/2 c shortening1/2 c sugar1 t salt2 pkgs. active dry yeast1/2 c warm water (110 to 115 degrees)4 1/4 to 4 3/4 bread flour2 eggs Scald milk in microwave –…
