Being reunited with our parents forever
I went for a quiet walk the other day, to relax and sort my thoughts like the stacks of messages and notes on my desk.

I realize that many people grew up without a father and I’m very sympathetic about that. Thank

Preparing garden beds for spring and beyond
Gardening enthusiasts may have been thinking about their landscape plans throughout the winter, eager to once again get their hands dirty with soil. Whether a home gardener is making preparations for edible

Take advantage of versatile Vidalias
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
There’s only one place in the whole world that grows authentic Vidalia onions, and that’s Vidalia, Ga.
They have the perfect soil to produce this sweet, flavorful onion. The only drawback is the onions only come into the market once a year. And now is the time.
So, don’t let the grass grow under your feet. Buy some and use them as much as possible while they’re available. Even people who say they don’t like onions have been known to change their minds when they taste Vidalias.
I hope you’ll like them, too.
