I saw a neat thing at the Homecoming game Friday. The Alumni Association was (and is) selling T-Shirts. Red and White (mostly red) and making a statement of fact – “Once Bulldog, always a Bulldog.” They are only $20. Add an extra $2 for 2x and 3x. These would make excellent Christmas presents for wayward

Please read your Vintage Vignettes carefully. Last week we ran an old ad from First Savings from 1980 offering a 6 month money market CD with an interest rate of 11.968% with an annual effective yield of 12.504% and a 2 1⁄2 year variable rate CD with 12.000% interest and annual effective yield of 12.747%.

I get catalogues all the time. Fun ones. Not for equipment or office supplies. No, clothes, and hand-crafted jewelry, and little do-dads for the kitchen that will only do one thing, shoes and dashing looking attire to wear while you saunter through the leaves.

I was talking to Kama Whitesell Deschane at the reception for her Grandmother, Peggy Sibley at the Wayside Inn Museum on Sunday.

We have Renaissance Festival tickets!! I’ll put a box on the front counter and we’ll start giving them away. We also have Knights of Lights tickets which we will give away starting the end of November. I talked to coach Eddie Long and he seems pretty excited about the Bulldogs’ football season.  I’m sure the

Well, another rite of fall – school. Kenny and I now have four out of six grandchildren in school. I hope all the children in this area have a safe and exciting school year. I haven’t heard anything about the electric busses, but they’re coming. There are several festivals that coming up, too. The big

I noticed that last week I failed to mention Jennifer Bland as one of the painting ladies. Anyway, they are still at work and trying to finish up so they can dash off and paint someone else’s wall. School starts next week. I’m not sure if the Bulldogs’ electric busses will be ready to roll
