To the Editor, My 10 year old daughter, Jolene, asked me if she could shave her head, and I said yes. Don’t get me wrong. My gut instinct was a hard no. It remained a hard no for two years since the first time she asked at age 8. My gut told me that her hair… Read More

Sometimes, you just have to sit down and list some of the  occurrences that happened during the past week or so. By doing that, you find out whether or not the “plusses and minuses” come out your way. Or not. It does sometimes boil down to an old saying: “Sometimes you eat the bear; sometimes he… Read More

I had slipped and chipped two front teeth as I was climbing onto one of my tractors on the farm. “Look,” one of The Young Girls said to me—(and they’re not that young anymore)—“We’ll… Read More
