Hello from Baldwin,
How is everyone’s week going? I hope that everyone is having a great one. Somebody turned up the thermostat. Now, this week is really feeling like July weather, hot and humid.
Did you have a good 4th of July? I did. I spent the 4th with family and friends. We had a cookout at my sister and brother-in-laws house Myra and Garnett Isbell. We all enjoyed a wonderful meal. Those who were there were Wesley, Debbie, Kendall and Kara Jones, Tiffany Webb, Nelda and Henry Smith, Alonzo and Ellen Harvey and myself. Garnett had some fireworks that we all enjoyed. We all had a great time.
Happy birthday wishes go out next week to Cecilia Cobb, Sunday. Cecelia will be celebrating her 7th birthday. Happy birthday also to Don Bolton, Jessica Harvey, Justin Daniel Harvey and Larry Harvey, Wednesday; Don Long, Donna Rhodus and Elizabeth Robinson, Thursday; Ray Dargavell and Matthew Foster, Friday. I hope that you all have very happy birthdays and many more happy ones to come.
Happy anniversary wishes go out next week to Greg and Priscilla Winkler, Tuesday; and Allen and Jennifer Goins, Thursday. I hope that both of you couples have very happy anniversaries and many more happy ones to come.

We certainly hope to see you at the market on Saturday.

Common-sense job hunting
I spent a day with a high-powered and high-profile friend who mentioned that he has more than 700 people a year ask him to help get a new job.
He’s not in the employment business, but is super well connected.
Every now and then, he gets the right person to the right job. -
It’s a love thing
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” — Romans 8:35-39

Spinach: It’s not just for Popeye anymore
A spinach-loving reader recently approached me to request a column on things to do with her favorite vegetable.
“Favorite vegetable?” You may ask, and rightly so.
When many of us were growing up …and we’re talking Baby Boomers here, the only spinach product known to us was the stuff that came in a can, and it was, in a word, horrible! -

Preschool screenings and birthday surprises
Hi!
... and the wind blew and blew. Perhaps this is the windy season!
Where is the snow? Students are starting to do snow dances, hoping they can coax enough snow to fall so they can make a proper snowman.
