Ahhh, the third week in April, the days are noticeably longer, the birds of summer are returning and their primarily nocturnal enemy, the cat, is spending more nighttime hours outside. Spring is in the air. But I’m pre-obsessing over the coming sleep deprivation. The longer daylight days are my only unhealthy relationship. I love that the sunlight burns away the cold and dark of winter, but so do the birds. They sing songs about it … all the time. That combination of light and...
The Hill County Commission Thursday announced it is applying for a credit card with a $100,000 limit for use by Hill County employees.

He said he and his wife Kris began the remodeling last year by pulling out the old bathrooms on the lower floor and have...

Out our way, we know that every trail goes somewhere, and not all trails lead to the same place. Where we end up depends on what trail we follow. That is why picking the right trail and then keeping alert to make sure we stay on it is important. Up on the Tiger Ridge, trails criss-cross and if you are not paying attention and just drifting without care, you could easily mistake one for the other and end up somewhere you had not intended to go. As we have just celebrated...
