I’m becoming a whole new person in my golden years. Truly. I used to be that person — the one who huffed, sighed dramatically, and rolled their eyes so hard they practically did a full rotation whenever someone put up Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving. And honestly? I’m sorry for being that Grinchy. I retired that
I have been clear over the years how blessed we are to live in our little corner of Penn’s Woods. This time of year, I would like to be talking about this in reference to everything that is going on around us. Veterans Day and all that we do to honor these special Americans has
By the time you’re reading this — God willing and the creeks don’t rise — the government shutdown will be over. But while it’s been dragging on, it’s caused a lot of stress for families across the country. Military personnel aren’t getting paid. SNAP recipients don’t know if their benefits are coming. Federal employees are
As we honor our veterans in the upcoming week, I would like to share with you a quote from General Colin Powell. General Powell passed away in 2021 and is now honored at the very place he spoke these words. “The Nation owes a great debt to its veterans, whose sacrifice to the Nation spans
It’s one of my favorite times of year—the in-between time. Halloween is behind us, and we have a couple of weeks until Thanksgiving. There is a chill in the air, and it’s starting to feel like it’s time to stay inside. My husband calls it “Steph makes everyone fat season” because this is also when
As we close out October, there are so many issues that seem to bring negativity to our American Spirit. I believe in the two-party system, and Republicans and Democrats work for the American people. Lost in the world of today is the having of a beer and a sandwich together after Congress breaks. This so
Wow, can you believe it? Halloween is already here! Are you ready to dive into the festivities? Make sure you’re all set with comfy shoes and your favorite hoodie. Don’t forget those extra candy bags, flashlights, and batteries! And maybe grab some Tums for when you inevitably overindulge in those delicious Reese’s! Everything looks like
My Father loved this time of year as football season was just getting interesting, the World Series was on our doorstep, and of course, election day was just around the corner. He loved the Mummers’ Parade and the Halloween season. I’ve shared in past articles how Dad always liked playing a good trick on folks.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and this year’s theme — “Every Story is Unique, Every Journey Matters” — reminds us that behind every diagnosis is a person. A story. A journey of courage, resilience, and hope. As the World Health Organization (WHO) puts it: “Every breast cancer diagnosis is personal… this theme reminds us
The third Saturday in October can mean just one thing in these parts — the Mummers’ Parade in Southside. Hard for me to believe this year marks the 78th anniversary of the Autumn event. It seems like only yesterday I couldn’t wait for the parade to begin and to gather up all the candy possible.
Grab your magnifying glass and your candy corn, folks — spooky season has officially arrived, and that can only mean one thing: it’s time for Webb Weekly’s Counting Cuties Contest! Each year, right around the time pumpkins start showing up on porches and every store smells suspiciously like cinnamon brooms, our Halloween Cuties sneak out
I’m a little early with this tribute — but as my grandpa always said, “If you’re early, you’re on time. If you’re on time, you’re late. And if you’re late, you’re out the door!” That quote has stuck with me my entire life. My wife will probably never understand why it’s so important for me
