Accountable for our spiritual sensitivity
I remember the day we brought Teddy, our English bulldog puppy, into our home. The breeder told us he was eight weeks old, but after receiving his papers, we noticed he was actually only six weeks old at the time.
He was a healthy little bruiser, and we would laugh at his stumbling and being uncoordinated, but now we realize it was because he was such a baby. My wife and I would sit on the porch in the evenings and watch him explore around in the front yard. He was so happy as he would jump and roll in the grass and investigate his new

JANICE RUTH SKELTON
EASLEY — Mrs. Janice Ruth Skelton, 80, went to be with her Lord and Savior on March 28, 2022.
Mrs. Skelton was born in Greenville County and was the daughter of the late Lewis Rochester and Louvenia Medlin Rochester and wife for 62 years to her handsome man, Lawrence “Lonnie” Skelton.
Mrs. Skelton loved her Lord and her family. She wanted nothing more than to be with her grandchildren and spend time with family. That was her greatest joy. She did not meet a stranger. She loved making friends, and people loved her beautiful smile. She enjoyed dancing. She was employed for a total of 38 years with Cornell Dubilier and was most often sought after for her knowledge of the job. She had many talents, including advising her husband Lonnie what to do. Mrs. Skelton was loved by all and will be missed dearly by her family.
Survivors, in addition to her husband, include a son, Danny Skelton (Kim) of Purcell, Okla.; a daughter, Rhonda Burton (Mark) of Easley; and six loving grandchildren, Daniel Skelton (Nancy) of Simpsonville, Autumn Sosebee (Chris) of Travelers Rest, Joshua Starnes (Shea) of Norman, Okla., Cody McClain of Pickens, Ryan Burton of Easley

Make it moist with mayonnaise
By Olivia Fowler
For the Courier
ofowler@thepccourier.com
Mayonnaise is not just for sandwiches. When added to some old favorites, it enhances the texture and moistness of the dish.
Making your own mayonnaise from scratch can sound daunting, but it isn’t really. It is tasty, and saves a trip to the store.
The mayonnaise drop biscuits are easy as one, two, three. No rolling out or cutting necessary.
The chocolate cake is rich, but if you’re going to have cake, it should be moist and rich.
I hope you enjoy these change-of-pace recipes.
