By ELENA E. GIORGILetter To The Editor: About My High Weeds And Ugly Yard
By MICHELLE AUSTINWhen I was a little girl growing up in New York State in the 1970s, my parents bought their first house in a small village with good schools to raise their family. We moved into a one story ranch on a culdesac where all the other houses looked pretty much the same with manicured lawns and an elm tree out front. Kids played in the streets until the sun went down and we all had big back yards to play in. Back then fencing wasn’t common so we kids could run from back yard to back yard as though it was all common land. It was the American dream for a young family.

Fr. Glenn: Time…Precious Time
By Rev. Glenn JonesCute joke in the e-mail the other day:
A priest waited in line to fill his car with gas just before a long holiday weekend, but there were many cars ahead of him. Finally, an attendant motioned him toward a vacant pump. “Father,” said the young man, “I’m so sorry about the delay. It seems as if everyone waits until the last minute to get ready for a long trip.” The priest chuckled, “I know what you mean. It’s the same in my business.”
