If you are missing something that was once part of the this newspaper, it is most likely missing because those who once submitted the stories are no longer doing so. We appreciate...
How we treasure our family heirlooms, if we are fortunate enough to have some handed down to us. Maybe we treasurer them a little too much. Sometimes we store these heirlooms safely and neatly tucked away in a chest, a drawer or a cabinet. There they remain unused, and not viewed for a long periods of time. We are so afraid something will happen to them that we wait to to use them or a look at them. They are never fully enjoyed. Maybe the well kept heirloom is grandmother’s china and silverware too special to use, a quilt that was lovingly made...

As members of the Formso Fire Department answered a call for assistance last Wednesday and headed to the Lovewell area, Bob Rouse, the department's fire chief, told the fire fighters "It is dry enough to burn and wet enough to sink."

Jacob is officially a licensed driver! I dropped him at the courthouse Tuesday morning and had him call me to bring the car down when his number was called. I’m so proud of him but nervous at the same time. Not quite as much as when his older brother got his license, but nervous just the same.

We are all healthy. Nothing of note has happened in the last week o...
