  Hi! My name is Fatima and I’m a female black and brown Min Pin, about 7 years old. I weigh about 24 lbs. and have huge brown eyes and a very sweet face. I am a gentle little woman and just the right size for someone who wants a smaller dog. I surely would like to be part of …

Once again I’m taking you along as we really get Out and About. On September 12, we left Three Rivers for Omaha, Nebraska, where we would join a couple thousand other Lions for three days of breakout sessions, celebration, camaraderie, and, of course, food. This annual gathering is known as the USA/Canada Lions Leadership Forum. Last year it was held …

I’m not an expert on dining out, but my wife and I probably dine out more than we dine in. This doesn’t mean that our refrigerator is empty; as a matter of fact, it is filled with everything you could possibly want when it comes to snacking, and I can put together one heck of a Dagwood Sandwich at a …

For someone with such a love for airplanes, and aviation in general, it might be hard to believe that I have never attended an air show. This ended on Saturday, August 20, when my brother and I attended “Thunder Over Michigan” at Willow Run Airport, near Detroit. My brother, who also shares a love of aviation, lives in Ann Arbor …

Hi! Yep, that’s me with ears a-flyin’! I’m Daisy Doo and I have tons of energy. I am a female red hound mix, about 1 or 2 years old. I weigh a solid 53 pounds and really like to be with people. I am pretty smart but I will need someone to guide me and teach me and let me …

The first school bell rang on Tuesday for most students in the area. There were first-day jitters for both students, parents, and yes, even teachers, as they all embark on another school year. Some students entered school for the first time or for the last, moving on to a new grade in a new school, leaving elementary behind for middle school, or …

I try my best to remind everyone about holidays and trash pickup days. I should have mentioned this last week, but I ran out of column space, so here is that information a week late. Monday was Labor Day, a holiday for just about everyone. Your trash removal person had the day off, but will be working this next Saturday. …

While summer is not officially over, with students (and teachers!) heading back to school, football starting and yes, even the leaves are beginning to change color, all signs point toward the end of summer. For all the big plans I made this summer, sadly, not all of my dreams became a reality. But that is not to say summer was …
