  • Motherhood and more: The good things of Christmas may come early

    I admit it. 

    I’ve been listening to Christmas music for at least the past three weeks, much to my husband’s irritation. I mean, it’s not like it’s on all the time, and it’s only in the car when he’s not riding with me. But still. He knows and is therefore sufficiently bothered.

    And yet, I don’t care.

  • Decking the halls with florist Barbara Morgan

    Barbara Morgan of Stephensburg has loved working with flowers since her youth. On visits to her grandmother's home, she gathered wildflowers and cedar limbs to arrange in old coffee cans. Morgan loved walking through the woods, looking at the wildflowers and moss on the trees.

    She’s grown that love of flowers and plant life into a 21-year career as a florist. Morgan and her husband, Jimmy, have owned The Rosey Posey Florist in Elizabethtown for 16 years.

  • Life or Something Like It: Mother-in-law loved like a mother

    Someone once said the mother-in-law daughter-in-law relationship is the toughest one to manage.

    Can any other woman cook his favorite foods just like mom did or wash his clothes just so?

    Is anyone good enough for the light of her life? Can anyone else treat her son with the love a mother has? Can she graciously move to second place as another woman takes first place in his heart?
    I was thinking about this last week as we traveled eight hours to Commerce, Ga., to attend the funeral of my husband’s mother.

    By SHONNA SHECKLES

    Well, the holiday season is upon us again, and I do mean upon us. I viewed my first holiday commercial on Halloween night. Please, could they wait until November before they start reminding us to rush out and buy or, back by popular demand, use lay-away?

  • Speakers with Spark: Develop a grateful outlook

    By SUSAN RIDER

    An attitude of gratitude is the best attitude to develop not just because of the season, but because of all the blessings we have been granted. No matter how bad things get, how rushed you are or how sad you are, you can always find someone worse off than you.

  • Time After Time: Not just a pond

    A pond is not just a pond, even if the cattle don’t keep its bottom packed tightly enough to hold water, even if brush fills its boundaries until nobody knows it was ever even there, nobody but you. It lives on, just as we all hope to do, in the memories of those who knew it best.

  • E'town's Halloween queen: Jeanine Morrison's love of holiday evident in her store

    Superheroes, princesses and monsters of all sorts will be out on the prowl for candy tonight but for one Elizabethtown woman this spooktacular holiday has been a part of business life for 14 years.

    Jeanine Morrison didn’t originally plan to be in the party or Halloween business.

    Her father is from Muldraugh and after joining the U.S. Air Force, he met her mother in France, where Morrison was born.

    The family moved around a lot and Morrison later joined the Air Force herself, serving four years in Arizona.
