Vinton says goodbye too soon

It's hard to put into words the grief for someone that you knew, but wish that you had known better. I knew Nathan Hesson first through his job at Vinton Unlimited.

I want 2020 back

I know I'm not alone in being glad that 2020 was over and looked forward to 2021. Now, I'm not sure that 2021 is going to go off better than in 2020, maybe worse.

Washington D.C. has problems, Can I get an A Woman?

We all hoped that 2021 would be a new page, a new beginning and that things would be great, can I get an Amen?Or in other words, a "So be it."This week Congress opened shop again, it's okay to groan, I am.

Christmas is a time that you expect to see twinkling lights and Christmas displays in the yards around town. When pulling into town, or any town for that matter,  the street lights are decorated with wreaths or garland or in Vinton snowflakes.

May all your Christmases be...well, better than 2020

I have to admit, after this year, I think I feel a bit more Grinch-ish than normal. I am so tired of hearing, mask up, socially distance or how I could kill Grandma before she gets run over by a reindeer if I don't wear a mask! (Now I'm not debating the should or shouldn'ts of any of that, but seriously, we're all weary)However, NOW is the time to make the day of those that serve us year around a bit brighter.

7 Years, and one day

I was reminded by relatives via Facebook that I'd lost my dad 7 years ago, yesterday. But really, I'd lost him about 5 or 6 years before when he went into a care center.
