I thought this stuff about going to jail and making your friends bail you out was over! It seemed to be the rage a few years back but I personally haven't heard anything about it for awhile. Today, however, during my lunch this voice called me saying someone had turned in my name and I'd be pick

My husband is a golf nut. (No offense, Nutsy!) He came in today bragging about winning $16 from his golfing buddies. I get so tired of hearing those holes played over and over in the kitchen. Usually his winnings are from $2 to $6 so he really scored today. The worst thing is one of his go

One of our most historic homes has become our Searcy Art Gallery. The Black House as it is called is just two blocks from the court square at 300 E. Race Street and is leased to the city by one of our prominent retired surgeons. Today as I was headed toward home, I steered into it to see the

My husband got credit this morning for something he didn't do! I totally forgot that the time changed while I was sleeping so even though I stayed in bed a little longer than usual I really got up too early. The paper boy must have forgotten too because the papers were delivered and I sat down
