This week more than 130 kids from first grade through high school descended upon the Park Avenue Church of Christ in Denison for its 22nd edition of Christian theater workshop. The program is a combination of an old-fashioned vacation Bible school with a musical production.
I don’t like being sick, but it might be even more difficult to see your child sick. You try to comfort them and help them heal, but there’s only so much you can do. There have been times when I would say to my child that if it were possible I would trade places with them. And it’s true. If you’re a parent you’ve probably had the same sentiment. We would gladly bear their pain if we could spare them. But as much as we want to take their pain, we just can’t.
Dear Neil: I have a white mallow planted next to a cherry red mallow. One of the flowers on the white plant was half and half. Is this a new plant, or did it just pick up the color from the darker bush?
Some families have doctors, others lawyers and those that enter into law enforcement. My family were lovers of the written word and became teachers. My parents were teachers. Several aunts and uncles were educators. Even my grandmothers were involved with schools. My Oklahoma grandmother taught in a small rural school. My Michigan grandma was a cook in a public school and the cook at Timbers Girl Scout Camp. She then expanded her horizons by becoming the chef at Bay View Inn in Traverse City. This required some savvy word knowledge.
Dear Abby: My 15-year-old daughter, “Nadia,” has been friends with another girl, “Kelly,” since they were 8. Over the years, I have had my concerns about Kelly because she lies. She can also be very manipulative, and she hasn’t always treated Nadia well.
Dear Dr. Roach: I would like to ask you a basic question about COVID-19 booster shots, since no health authority seems to answer it directly. Why should I get a booster if the booster is based on the original alpha version of the virus from more than two years ago? Even if the booster shot were based on the delta variant, that variant passed through a long time ago. I had my two main Pfizer shots last summer while delta was raging, but now that the virus has morphed into weaker variants, the booster shot does not seem relevant or necessary. People are back to doing things in large groups, and if you get the virus, most likely you’ll get just mild, cold-like symptoms. So, why get a booster shot now if it won’t be effective against current variants?
I am a terrible gardener. I hate weeding, and within weeks of planting anything, the tomato, pepper and other plants start to become overrun with unwanted greenery, and it’s just not a pretty sight.
For a sophisticated summertime dessert, it’s not always necessary to reinvent the wheel. A classic ice cream sundae will hit the spot with the right toppings.
