Local veterans take part in Honor Flight
In a whirlwind one-day trip, two Montague County World War II veterans were part of Honor Flight, a program that takes veterans to Washington D.C. to see the monuments to their service.
For Walter Haynie and Lamoin Champ, it was two old friends sharing a unique, once in a lifetime experience. Honor Flight Network is a non-profit organization created solely to honor America’s veterans for all their sacrifices.
Our nations’ heros are transported to the capitol to visit and reflect at their memorials, but top priority is given to the senior veterans, those World War II survivors, along with those veterans who may be terminally ill.

The Garden Guy surfed the web and stumbled across a photo you most likely have never seen. It featured three Proven Winners National Plants of the Year in a wonderful combination.
The flowers were the Safari Dusk Jamesbrittenia or South African phlox which is the ‘Annual of the Year.’ The combo also featured Supertunia Hoopla Vivid Orchid the ‘Petunia of the Year’ and Heart to Heart Chinook the ‘Caladium of the Year.’

Food is supposed to bring people together.
It sits at the center of our holidays, church potlucks, birthday parties, first dates, family reunions and late-night kitchen conversations. In Texas especially, I feel like feeding people is one of the purest forms of love we know. We celebrate with casseroles, comfort with pies, and gather around smoked meats and shared desserts.
Food is hospitality. Food is belonging.
But for some people, food is also calculation.
Before the appetizers even arrive, some of us are already scanning ingredients, evaluating risk, rehearsing questions, and trying to determine whether asking those questions is about to make everyone at the table uncomfortable.
