Prayer, patriotism always helpful

Published

on

(1) I do believe with all my heart, prayer is the number one thing we can do always. (2)  I would love to see signs at every entrance to Bowie that said, “Bowie, Texas we honor God and country” and/or   “We salute our troops”.  (3) We could repeat the Pledge of Allegiance at more functions and begin every function with prayer   (4) Display more flags in town and be certain to replace the fainted ones as soon as possible. (5) Monthly or by-monthly articles written by The Bowie News on Bowie (or surrounding towns) Veterans or by the widow of a Veteran. Wonder how many heroes live among us today? (6) I would like to see Bowie have the highest voting percentage in the nation.  It is our civic duty and an honor to vote.

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.
