Somebody please shake the clock to see if it is stuck in overdrive. We’re already talking about the first football game Aug.18. There’s a midnight scrimmage Friday night so you can get a free peek at the 2017 squad in action. Remember when we were kids and the summer, while too short, seemed to go

Picnic’s over… for most folks, but not for us. We’re sorting through photos, selecting and printing shots and writing cutlines.

Hope you had an enjoyable Memorial weekend. We did. Friday Kimball and Davis couldn’t get away so I went to the cemetery and decorated graves planning to go back Sunday or Monday with Davis and Kimball. Sunday was crunched for time.
