Open casting call for local actors

Hello readers. We have snow, and lots of it at this writing on Sunday evening, the last day in January.

By the time Friday afternoon rolled around last week, I was almost a non-believer of all the weather forecasts that I had heard from three days before. All this white stuff just dropped from the sky while we were sleeping. It was a soft, white blanket that completely took my breath away when I looked out around 4:30 a.m. on Saturday morning.

It really did feel good to just stay home for the weekend and sleep a little later than usual. I did go “snow disking” on Causey Hill with my granddaughter Amanda. I think the next time (if there is a next time), I will remember to take a bigger sliding disk — one for my size. Maybe I will not be so sore from all that exercise.

I made snow cream later in the day and it was oh so good. Thank you, Marianne Hurte for the best recipe.

Most church services were canceled because of the 5 to 7 inches of snow that covered parking areas leaving huge drifts in the fence rows, and I did miss going to church. I feel like my Sunday is not complete if I don’t interact with my good neighbors for Sunday morning services. I did however, spend the afternoon with two good friends, Linda and Janice, as we took a break for some much needed sorting.

A special piece from Linda Caldwell about Second Fridays announces that Trish Ayers, producer, is sending out a call for actors and actresses for a series of plays, “MoneyBlue$,” written during the Kentucky Women’s Playwright Seminar last year. The plays will be presented in April in Berea at the Arena Theatre. Call Trish at 985-0686 for more information.

A very happy anniversary to Tom and Coy Burnam, Feb. 7, and also to “Ced” and Ellen Hagan on Feb. 10.

The Lord has blessed you all.

May God bless.

  • Dr.-Jack-Rutherford.jpg Is MSG (monosodium glutamate) harmful?

    Monsodium gluatamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer often added to Chinese food, soups, processed meats and canned vegetables. The use of MSG remains controversial despite a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) statement that it is safe. Because of this, the FDA requires that whenever MSG is added, that it be listed on the label.

  • Don-McNay-.jpg 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.

  • Anthony-Phelps-c.jpg 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

  • Brandon-Sears-c.jpg Managing the calving season

    Providing sound management during the calving season can mean more live calves.
    Excessive losses can mean the difference between a year’s profit or loss for a beef producer.
    It is important to have a short calving period to allow frequent observation and assistance if needed.

  • Frank-food-dude-mug-c.jpg 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!

    Topping damages hundreds of trees each year in Kentucky.
    Many people are unaware of the detrimental effects of this practice.
    Topping involves the drastic removal or cutting back of large branches in mature trees leaving stubs.

    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.
    (I'm sure they hope it will fall on a weekend so they won’t have to miss school! lol)
