A World of Little Things

Tuesday, July 27th, 2010 by Amy Sandeen

“We humans are a minority of giants, stumbling around in a world of little things.”
-Sue Hubbell in Waiting for Aphrodite

Earlier this summer, a neighbor commented that my yard is like a Disney movie – there are always songbirds, rabbits, and squirrels hanging out. I’m guessing they break into song and have fabulous animated adventures when I’m not looking, too.

Did Netflix and Redbox Kill the Video Store?

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010 by Russanne Erickson

When I moved to Hastings, I was happy to discover that there wasn’t a large chain video store like Blockbuster. It brought me back to my college days in Pullman when we would go “save Video Quest.” Pullman, which was about the same size of Hastings when I lived there, boasted two Blockbusters and the locally owned Video Quest.

Sammy, Come Home!

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010 by Jill Kimle

Our 4th of July holiday this year got off on the wrong foot. Things initially started out really well as we attended a fireworks display the night of the 3rd. However, about an hour after our arrival home, we knew something wasn’t quite right. Our dog Sammy was missing.

TV Rots Your Brain

Friday, July 9th, 2010 by Becky Sullivan

“Mom, can I have a TV in my room?” asks my nine year old daughter. “No”, I say for the eighteenth time. “Why not? EVERYONE else does” she scowls as she recites the favorite child phrase of every parent. “Because TV rots your brain” I respond as she wrinkles her nose at me. “You can have a TV in your room, when I have one in mine” I say. She looks at me smugly and replies “Or when I move away to college” and bounds out of the room.

You Made Your Bed, Now Lie In It!

Tuesday, July 6th, 2010 by Denise Howie

A few weeks ago, we came to the conclusion that Monkey #1’s bed, which was a few years older than him, was shot. After all, it was the cheapest bed we could find and we shouldn’t have expected it to get him through. Initially we purchased the double bed for “guests,” which at the time [...]

4th of July at Fisher Fountain

On the other hand, maybe it’s even more fun to attend and take in the festivities without finding costumes, decorating the tricycles or wagons, and figuring out whether the pet should be in the parade.
