BALDWIN —
Hello from Baldwin. How is everyone’s week going?
I hope everyone is having a good one.
We are having some warm weather for this time of year, aren’t we?
Doesn’t quite seem right for January, but we have to take it as it comes.
Happy birthday wishes go out next week to Jerel Middleton, Sunday; Billy Foster, Monday; Nathan Jones, Tuesday; my sister, Nelda Smith and Rob Hayden, Wednesday; Becky Riddell and Colby Bogie, Thursday; and Bill Ball, Saturday.
I hope all of you have very happy birthdays and many more happy ones to come.
Happy anniversary wishes go out next week to Larry and Kelley Harvey, Thursday; Billy and Linda Curtis and Stacey and Tammy Curtis, Saturday.
I hope all of you have very happy anniversaries and many more to come.
On Tuesday, Ellen Harvey, Myra Isbell, Garnett Isbell and I met Jimmy, Jean, Terry and Sherry Jolly of Carlisle, Ky., at Golden Corral in Winchester to eat lunch and celebrate Ellen’s birthday.
We had a good meal and a wonderful visit with good friends. I hope you had a wonderful birthday, Ellen.
Last Thursday, the Baldwin 4-H Club met in the fellowship hall of Bethel Christian Church.
After the meeting, the club had an electric class with Kendall Jones teaching it. The children made lamps.
Bennie Perkins and Wesley Jones helped with the class. Six members of the club made lamps.
After the class, everyone enjoyed refreshments.
I want to express my deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Jean Johns.
She certainly will be missed by all. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you today and in the days to come.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. If you hear any news, just give me a call at 623-4579 or e-mail at pljones61@netzero.com.

Muffins, and not the kind you wear on one’s head...
I spent a couple of weeks this past month in Texas. One of my best friends who lives in the Dallas area developed the best recipe to use bran in a muffin. I have found this to be a great breakfast meal epically if one is one the go and no time to stop and fix a meal. Just pop into the microwave oven to reheat

We all know we should eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables a day, but many of us don’t get the recommended servings. Fruits and vegetables are important to our diet because they provide necessary nutrients and are high in dietary fiber and low in calories, fat and cholesterol. They provide a variety of phytochemicals, antioxidants and nutrients that help you stay healthy in a variety of ways.

Running or walking: which is better?
Running and walking both have their pros and cons.
Recent research, published in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise found that habitual runners gain less weight than habitual walkers, when the amount of energy they expend in their workouts is the same.
And another study, published in the same month in a different journal, showed that running is no better than walking for the prevention of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and coronary heart disease. - More Lifestyles & Community Headlines
