WACO —
Hi! Happy Valentine’s Day!
It seems a lot of folks are celebrating “the day” on Saturday this year.
For instance, Waco Masonic Lodge and Flatwoods Christian Church are sponsoring special Valentine dinners for Saturday night.
Waco 338 Masonic Lodge on College Hill Road is sponsoring a potluck Valentines dinner this Saturday at 6 p.m. Brillian Cain will be preparing the ham. (Yummy says Jim Rogers and we all agree!)
Saturday night is also “Ladies, we love you” dinner at Flatwoods Christian Church.
The men will do all the work (cooking, cleaning, decorating, serving the ladies, etc.)
From the desk of the pastor we have these reminders for the men:
Men, if you want to help with the decorations, meet Bill Wilson at the fellowship hall Saturday at 10 a.m.
If you are helping with the dinner preparation, meet with Phil Herald in the 4:00 to 4:30 p.m. time range.
For the youth, we will do a little differently this year, everyone will go through the food line at the beginning, but we are asking them to bring the red aprons they wore last year and they will be serving drinks, refills, etc.
Looking forward to a great weekend! (I do believe they have a plan, and ladies, all you have to do is show up!)
Congratulations to Waco P.E. teacher Stuart Rose and his wife on the birth of their first child, a precious baby boy! Your students will be so excited!
Of course, there are papaws, mamaws, aunts, uncles, neices and nephews who have been anxiously awaiting the arrival (especially so the last couple of weeks.)
Particulars will come later, but I believe the name Tyler Marshall previously was chosen by the couple for the newborn’s name. Congratulations to everyone!
Happy birthday wishes are sent out to Lucy Beth Anderson, Feb. 14; Jody Plummer, Feb. 16; and Phil Herald and Gavin Holloway, Feb. 20.
Deepest sympathies are extended to the family of Jimmy Roark, who passed away recently. Just wanted you to know you are in the thoughts and prayers of your friends and neighbors at this time.
That’s about it for this week – have a great one!
Get well, Bailey Dickerson – that’s an order!
I need to call Sue.
Prayers also go out (and are requested) for (Uncle) Leon Centers who recently was hospitalized.

My! How things have changed
I was just thinking the other day about how difficult it is for those of us who are beyond middle age. Things are just not like they were when we were young.
How many of you have noticed that stairs are getting steeper, groceries are getting heavier and everything is much farther away? -

Peter Perlman — Life lessons from a lawyer’s lawyer
One of the great moments of my life was sitting next to legendary Louisville attorney Frank Haddad at a luncheon when he learned he had received the first Peter Perlman Outstanding Trial Lawyer award from the Kentucky Academy of Trial Lawyers.
As they started his bio, the surprised Frank started crying like a baby. A sudden heart attack took him less than a year later. Winning the Perlman award was the crowning achievement of his career. -
Credit score insanity
Frequently, people stop me and ask me personal finance questions.
The most common is how to improve their credit history score.
If you need to improve your credit score, it means you have lousy credit. Before fixing the score, people need to ask how their credit got so bad to begin with. -

Fresh strawberries at the farmer's market
Hello from Baldwin,
How is everyone’s week going? I hope everyone is having a great one. Well the weather has improved a lot. I have heard the lawn mowers buzzing since the rain stopped for a few of days. Everyone is trying to get their yard mowed and trimmed up before the next rain. Gardeners are out working diligently working the grounds that have finally dried enough to plant things. It has been very difficult on the gardeners with all of the rain to get their gardens planted. Oh, won’t those fresh vegetables taste good. -
Union City Day is this Saturday
Union City Day is this Saturday. There will be music, food and yard sales including some "Made in Union City" items. I have heard that one of the music sessions will include folks from Union City Baptist Church with ukuleles. For yard sales, you can start setting up at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. It will be a great day to get out and meet your neighbors. Two raffles are underway, one is for a quilt handmade by Mary Sewell. Raffle tickets are available for several prizes including, a 32 inch TV, a Garmin GPS unit and Paula Deen Cookware. See a Ruritan member to purchase tickets. Drawings will be after 2 p.m. All proceeds from both raffles will go to the floor replacement fund.

The sun is going to shine for us
It's another cloudy Tuesday here in Paint Lick, but folks, the sun is going to shine for us all this week, so we can get into our gardens and plow up our fields and just be happy that maybe the rain will stay away, at least for a little while. We have a wonderful breeze out that will soon dry the ground.

I thought I would tell you one of my family stories even though it’s not a Newby story. It seems no matter what part of the country you’re from, a country tale sounds the same.
