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

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.

Can You Get This On Me?

Road Side Gold
We drive past these things every week. Normally we don’t think twice about it, we just drive past and continue on our way. The problem is that we miss out on some of the best items to be had for free or for little money. I am talking about the treasures that people leave on the side of the curb.
