When we moved to Carter County in 2016 we came to love the feeling of community, of the way people banded together if there was a fundraiser for someone who was sick, or lending a helping hand to someone who needed it. We see the pride in ranchers and small businesses. What has been an eye opener has been the Carter County Commissioners. I would have liked to have thought that a small community that everyone knew everyone in — would be more vested in everyone’s interests, in bettering the community. I really didn’t know...
With this column, I have completed my 27th year of writing a weekly humor/recipe column. Back when Linda Grosskopf hired me to take over writing "Cooking in the West" for the Agri-News, the only job description she gave me was," Just run some great recipes, write some funny stuff about your life, and have it in my email inbox every Monday morning." That sounded easy enough, so 324 columns later, I am sitting here on my laptop on a Sunday night trying to cheer up enough to write something funny to share this week. I should sto...

Hello God, it’s me, Mara: You know, Lord, the melody of that old hymn, “For The Beauty Of The Earth,” brought to mind “Care of the Earth” and “Stewardship” and Psalms 24:1: “The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.” If we go to checking out the hymn itself, which was written by Folliott S, Pierpoint (1835-1917), one finds that there are two additional verses seldom printed in any hymnals – probably no wonder, as which song leader ever leads to sing all four – or for that matter, all seven verses of anything!! More is the...
