Did 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.

Cats and the Heartland Pet Connection
I talk about my cats like they are people. I am probably one four legged friend short of being a cat lady, as some of my non-cat friends have pointed out, but I’m okay with that. I got my cats from Heartland Pet Connection last July when they were having a kitty sale.

Happy Father’s Day
There’s this photo with a certain rarefied air about it that I keep looking at these days. It’s one that depicts my great grandmother wearing some sort of helmet that looks like it might have been better suited for an astronaut. The photo exudes a mystical quality, both in look and sentiment, as though it were a scene fabricated in a dream.
