LIFESTYLES


  • Art fundraiser benefits breast cancer fund

    Armed with paintbrush, paint and a canvas, more than 14 people turned out recently to The Color Palette to fight like a girl – fight breast cancer that is.

  • Quilters share their love through their craft

    I never had the privilege of knowing any of my grandparents. I was the youngest of four, but none of my older brothers knew them either. My mother’s father was the last to go and he died shortly after my oldest brother was born. But we all had the good fortune to know my daddy’s aunt, Meta Duncan. His father blamed Daddy for the death of his mother as she died less than two weeks after he was born. Aunt Meta ended up raising Daddy after he ran away from home to her house so many times she finally decided not to send him back to a father who did not want him.

  • School Menus Nov. 16-20

  • A story about Walker County’s early days

    The public interest in our founding fathers both in city and rural areas sends me to the available material to search. Mr. Winfred Sandlin, noted historian of Walker County, presented the papers on L.B. Musgrove to the Jasper City Library. The following story is taken from these papers.

  • Losing friends a tough thing

    I heard my father-in-law Sharky say a few years before he passed away that the hardest part of growing older, was losing his friends. At the time, I hadn’t lost that many close friends, but I could tell by the sound of his voice and the look in his eyes, that he was speaking from experience.

  • Foshees living life on one level

    Carole and Ralph Foshee hardly ever see the upstairs of their two-story home on the Trace.

  • We won’t be hungry for the holidays this year

    I’ve always heard that happily married couples have to make compromises. One of the first agreements Zac and I made concerned who would be in charge of the kitchen.

  • Weddings & Engagements

  • ‘It had to be kind of manly’

    When Greg and Mitsy Reed decided to build a new home in 2007, they knew they wanted one with lots of space for their three boys. The result was a 5,700-square-foot, two-story in Magnolia Ridge subdivision.

  • A change comes to Sloss

    It happened in super slow motion, so none of us kids in Sloss saw it coming. One day you could play stickball right in the middle of Sloss Road, but then came “progress.” The next thing we knew our little community had changed forever.

  • Hiram Roberts’ family history

    I take time to return to look at a family which greatly impacted Walker County in the field of education. Frankie Roberts and her husband, the late Bruce Roberts, collected a very definitive history of their family. They shared so unselfishly with me concerning the material they had accumulated of the Roberts’ entry into Walker County.
