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.

The Madison County Farmers Market is having its Customer Appreciation Day this Saturday in the Lowe’s Parking Lot from 8 a.m. to noon. You will be able to get locally grown farm fresh produce, baked goods and well as jams and jellies. The market will have giveaways and you can register for door prizes that were donated by local businesses. The Baldwin 4-H Club will be there with a bake sale.

The Madison County Homemakers and the Madison County Cooperative Extension will be there doing demonstrations throughout the morning. The Madison County Homemakers will have the 3rd Edition cookbooks on Saturday. You may obtain one by making a minimum donation of $2 or more. All proceeds go to ovarian cancer research.

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

There will be a food preservation boot camp on July 16 to learn how to preserve all your beautiful fruits and veggies safely. Morning class is from 9 to 11 a.m. and the evening class is from 6 to 8 p.m. The classes will be conducted at the Madison County Cooperative Extension Center, 230 Duncannon Lane, Richmond. The cost is $5 and please bring your Ball Blue Book with you. Call 623-4072 by July 13 to register.

Well I guess that is all for now. Let me know if you hear any news. Just give me a call at 623-4579 or e-mail at pljones61@netzero.com.

We are heirs and joint-heirs to His kingdom
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. — Rom 8:14-19

How little exercise is necessary for good health?
How little exercise is necessary for good health?
That question was the subject of a recent investigation by a team of exercise scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and the answer seems to be a lot less than we might think, as long as we’re willing to put in the effort.

Start planting your hot weather vegetables now

Hopefully, the unusual spate of unseasonably warm weather we had earlier this spring did not fool you, and you’ve been patiently waiting to get your hot weather veggies, such as tomatoes and peppers, into your summer vegetable garden.

Now is a good time to start planting these delectable goodies.

Rethinking the benefits of crunches
I’ve been doing crunches all my adult life and it may be one of the reasons I have back problems. Research from the University of Waterloo in Ontario has found that repeated bending of the spine, such as occurs when doing crunches, can contribute over time to damage of spinal discs. The results are presented — along with a lot of other useful information — in the book, “Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance” by Stuart McGill.

Is 401(k) good for America?
Internal Revenue Code section 401(k) is the only section of the US tax code that average people can cite.
They know it has something to do with whether or not they can retire with dignity. Or retire at all.

He is there when you need Him
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. — Psalm 139:7-10

It’s tough to be old
I was just thinking the other day about how tough it is to be old. We seniors have so many things to contend with. One of the first things is our memory, or perhaps I should say our lack of memory. I’ve often thought it is easier for us to remember things that happened to us when we were kids than to remember what we had for lunch yesterday. Names are hard to recall. It is embarrassing to meet someone who is familiar and we are certain we should know them, but simply cannot remember their name. In a conversation with a friend, to talk about a former friend but neither of you are able to recall their name.

McCreary’s second term
Between the end of Madison countian James B. McCreary’s first term in 1879 and the beginning of his second term in 1911, a lot happened in Kentucky.
Democrats continued to dominates state politics, as they did Madison County politics. But, the Republicans did break through to take control of the state government once or twice. Of course, that depends on how you interpret the whole, now-infamous Taylor-Goebel affair.
