Tales from the Trails

1 month ago By News Staff

Shut Out Have I ever felt shut out? Have I searched for answers but could not find them? Have I ached for peace, but it eluded me? Have I reached for joy yet it slipped away like grasping for the wind?

Upon entering the chicken coop to find an after hours laid egg to feed our puppy for a bedtime snack, I was thoroughly frustrated! It was well into the darkness of the night, and the wind had been unusually strong through the day and blown the door to the chicken roost shut.

Dear Annie

1 month ago By News Staff

Dear Annie: I have been dating my boyfriend for four years and am very lucky to call him mine. He loves me well, gets along with everyone he meets and is very giving.

Family vacations are a drag due to the conversation being dominated by her constant discussion of her weight or fancy dinners she suggests but never picks up the tab for.

Democracy-Denying Democrats Lose in Court

1 month ago By News Staff

The pro-Biden media perpetually pat themselves on the back. They are a gift to the people, the essence of democracy, as in, “We inform the voters and then we expect the voters to make smart choices” (the ones we recommend).

Dear Annie: I have a son who’s going to be 3 in August. He’s been going through the “Terrible Twos,” and as you can imagine, it’s been terrible. His thing right now is that he will throw a fit, and then when he’s done, he will wrap his arms around me and say, “I love you, Mommy!”

New York Suburbs Could Return Democrats to Power

1 month ago By News Staff

In bygone days, Democrats in New York’s suburbs could happily vote for Republicans they deemed good guys. Moderate Republicans didn’t seem all that different from moderate Democrats, and the two parties worked together in Washington.
