PAINT LICK —
Hello readers.
It is a chilly, yet cloudy Monday morning, this Nov. 19, and as I look out into the street here above, friends, I see the most incredible little tree that sits alone, just waiting for the lighting of Christmas in Paint Lick Ky.
The small spruce was planted by two gardeners from Baldwin Farms, friends of Hal and Yvonne Davis.
It sits on the corner of the Community Arts Center in hopes that everyone will turn out the evening of Nov. 30, as the lighting takes place.
I hope everyone can find time to be with us.
The arts center is the place to be in the coming month of December. You can call 925-2741 for information.
You just can’t help but notice both windows at Copperhead Consulting Env. I did on Friday night. Vickie has done a wonderful job with the trees.
First, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone out there. I pray your holiday will be filled to the measure of His respect.
We had a great Thanksgiving meal on Sunday at Paint Lick Christian Church. It sure was nice to see so many people and they brought a bounty of food!
Especially nice to see those who seldom get to be with us.
Thanks to so many for all the nice fixings would not be saying enough, but I hope they will join us when they can on any Sunday morning. Everyone is welcome.
I see Charlie Gruen has an extra nice Chevy Impala sitting out for sale.
I know, for certain, that Charlie is a good mechanic and I believe this car would make someone’s wish for Christmas a happy one. Call Charlie, 925-2206.
This Friday is, I hope, a happy birthday for Devon on Gillespie Pike.
Then, on Sunday, and in the coming week, two beautiful ladies, Shirley Hawley and Bonnie Lamb, will share a birthdate.
Happy birthday to Ashley Ramsey, grand daughter of Druscilla Davidson, on Nov. 30.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving and may God bless.

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.

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.
