FacebookDid Netflix and Redbox Kill the Video Store?
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.
Hidden In Plain View
The new gallery show at Graham Gallery features an artist we haven’t seen before in this area, Patric Jernigan. He lives in Plainview, Texas. His wife has connections to a small Nebraska town, which brings them to Hastings from time to time. He liked Graham Gallery and the owner, Angela Graham, liked his art, so a show was born. It is called “The Book of Hidden Things”.
Nice Day for a Green Wedding
This is the season for beautiful summer weddings. Long flowing white gown, tuxes, cut flowers, special food & drink, and guests traveling from all over to share the day. There are countless ways to arrange all the bits and pieces of a wedding celebration. And there are some wonderful options for making it “green.”
Eileen’s Cookie Business a Winning Recipe
Cookies may never lose their appeal, but companies that make them can certainly crumble. Instead, Eileen’s Colossal Cookies has flourished, for nearly 28 years.
4th of July at Fisher Fountain
I’m not sure when the YWCA started holding their Independence Day celebration at Fisher Fountain, but I sure wish it had been going on when our two were little. 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.

TV Rots Your Brain
“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.

Carefree Summer Days
Picture your world – relaxing in the hammock, gentle breeze, sun behind the clouds, patches of color from flowerbeds around the yard, lawn just mowed, sprinkler automatically running about 4:30 a.m., butterflies overhead, no storm reports, no mosquitoes,- – - WHAT, NO BUGS!! WAKE UP!! GET REAL. Dreaming is good, reality is probably better. Life just isn’t this easy.

You Made Your Bed, Now Lie In It!
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 [...]

You probably don’t need me to tell you that being a lifeguard means guarding people’s lives. That’s pretty much a given. The thing that many people fail to realize, however, is that it’s more than just an average job.
