Mr. Second Monday is smiling

Published

on

Posted April 9, 2016
I went to gas up my car this morning and came back by the Bowie Knife and looked out at all the activities going on in my hometown. I saw kids playing soccer, Second Monday visitors shopping, and when I drove on through town to go home I saw all the revitalization in downtown. We may struggle when the oil boom ceases but whether you are a native Bowieite, a tourist or a World Champion Cowboy hunting a bargain at our renown Trade Days, this little city has True Grit!! We never give up and Mr. Second Monday is smiling down on his hometown today. Build a Better Bowie!!
Jan Brashear Browning, Bowie
Editor’s Note: Mrs. Browning is referring to her grandfather Marvin Brashear when she speaks of “Mr. Second Monday.” He was one of the key figures in getting Second Monday expanded to its present location.

Brew up a ‘cuppa’ tea with items from your yard

Published

on

A few years ago, if someone had suggested that I would be brewing tea from orange peels, fig leaves, and the assortment of wild plants flourishing in my yard, I would have giggled in disbelief. My perception of tea was limited to the neatly packaged bags sold at the store, each little bag a promise of convenience.
I still vividly recall a few memorable trips to Great Britain, where I savored the robust flavor of a PG Tips tea bag—moments like that felt exquisitely sophisticated to me! The British, with their ritual approach and passion for creating the perfect cuppa, truly have mastered the art of tea.
