Ten warning signs of Alzheimer's disease (11/07/09)
Hi neighbors. November is National Alzheimer's Disease Awareness Month and National Family Caregivers Month. Alzheimer's is a disease unlike any other. People who care for a parent or other loved one with Alzheimer's are unlike any other caregivers as well...

Off on a North Dakota hunting trip (10/31/09)
Last week found me getting ready for the annual hunting trip to North Dakota. I have noticed the buying patterns for the supplies needed have changed over the years. Of course there are always the staples, the basic food groups of beef jerky, trail mix, candy bars, and Oreos. ...

A nod to some of those who write (10/31/09)
Hi neighbors. Recently I read where the Nevada Daily Mail earned an award for excellence.

Receiving an education at Black School (10/14/09)
As I related to you in the past I attended a one-room school for eight years to obtain my elementary education. As I told my children when they were young and I tell my grandchildren now, I was in the same classroom for eight years -- which makes them look at me in a strange way...
