I have never met a mirror I didn’t have the urge to look into. They say a person is self-conscious and unsure of themselves if they constantly…
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Sometimes, I believe the older we get, the harder it is to accept change. If we stop and think about it, life is full of changes. We come into the world, learn to eat and walk, go to school, attend college, hopefully get a job and…
Penny For Your Thoughts by: Nancy Whitaker This year I played it smart and got a pneumonia and a flu shot. (And yes I got my Covids) I thought I was all set for the cold winds of winter, but I found out about a week ago that there are other ailments which are “such…
Penny For Your Thougths By: Nancy Whitaker Keys, keys keys. We have keys for everything. There are keys to get in the house, start our cars, mowers, golf carts and keys to get in the garage.

By: Nancy Whitaker Since my residence is now in Van Wert, there is a couple of reasons why I like attending VWHS sports. First of all I was lucky enough to have two granddaughters be high school cheerleaders and the second is that this is my alma mater. I always get sentimental when going…
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker Of course, each New Years, we make all kinds of vows and promises known as resolutions. I usually don’t make any, but I probably should. There are a lot of areas I could improve in my life, but most of the things I need to improve upon, are…
By: Nancy Whitaker Whether you’re a new nurse or a been around for a while, it’s always intriguing to take a look back at the history of the nursing profession. I daily thank God for the dedicated people who become nurses. They had some of the hardest jobs when the pandemic hit us in 2020. As…
Penny For Your Thoughts By: Nancy Whitaker I love the south and my grandparents were both from the southern states. Of course, my Granny, could make great sugar cookies, sweet tea, dandelion greens, fresh green beans, bake super pies and could forecast the weather using various nature signs.
