I fondly recall my early years growing up in northern Lycoming County. Hours upon untold hours were spent outside — fishing, hunting, hiking, exploring, and watching the wonders of nature unfold time and time again. Great memories were formulated, and it was a very healthy environment to spend those youthful years. No cell phone. No
As spring rolls to an end and summer approaches I find myself on the lookout for the new additions to our local wildlife populations. As usual, one of the first to show up are fawn deer, and over the past couple of weeks, I am finally starting to see a fawn or two each week

In years past, I really went all out for Father’s Day on the greeting card front. Getting two cards for each dad on my list — one from my children and then one from either me or my husband when it came to his father. With the passing of my own father last year, the

If something reads the same backwards as it does left to right, that is called a palindrome. As we saw last week in “Weird Words,” palindromes can be numerical — like all the dates from 5/20/25 through 5/29/25. Of course, those work only if you overlook the slashes, which is what most palindromers do —

I know that I don’t delve into sports very often, but sometimes things just play out that way (pun intended). The fact that I regularly joke about not running unless I’m being chased makes this even more ironic. But let’s ignore all that and talk about Kylie Temple and the amazing year that she has

While a great heel will always have its place, who amongst us really wants to be tottering around in high heels during the hazy days of summer?
