* Everything seems to be misleading these days. Case in point— went to a name-brand store a few weeks ago with my daughter. On almost every display and clothes racks in the place were signs that read “40% Off Sale.” We even asked the sales lady about the bargains. She said, “Yes, everything is 40% off.” So we went on our merry way and did a lot of shopping damage. Boy, were we surprised when we got to the checkout counter, and NOTHING we wanted to purchase was 40% off. The sales lady behind the counter said it was just a few “select” items that were 40% off! I guess you really do have to read the very fine print on all of the signs that were literally on every rack in the store! So that was our mistake, but to be told right to our faces that everything with a sign was 40% off is what gets me. Needless to say, I won’t be going back there any time soon.

Speaking of genetics... Last week I shared the story of identical twin sisters who married identical twin brothers and have now each had baby boys that are so genetically similar, the cousins are more like brothers.

MY OPINION This push of the green agenda and purchasing electric cars is going to “backfire” big time. First off, who can afford a $40,000.00 to $50,000.00 car? FYI: All the cars I have purchased in my lifetime have yet to reach that total.

I love it when a story in the news just makes you go, “Huh?” When a story is so crazy unbelievable that you just have to read it again. This would be one of those stories.

THIS AND THAT * A great big “Thank You” to everyone who helped clean off driveways and sidewalks around town after the snowstorm. It was greatly appreciated! * Who remembers going out in your backyard on a hot summer day to “lay out.” Essentials were a boom box tuned into your favorite radio station, lots of baby oil and Sun In sprayed in your hair! * Remember this Spring that God loves you.

Hello, friends! This is the first week of my health column for many of you, so hopefully the rest of my health column veterans of the last nearly four years will bear with me while I introduce myself to others in northwest Kansas. I am a midlevel provider who has been working and living in rural Kansas for over 30 years, and started a Direct Primary Care clinic in Logan in June of 2018, with the help of the Dane G.

I don’t know of anyone who is not eager for Spring! Hopefully that big snow of last week was the last gasp of winter. Now we need some good spring rain to come through and get the earth to growing. While Sunday, the 20th, is the official “First Day of Spring,” the Full Moon on Friday night is the “Worm Moon” that really kicks off the Spring season.

Dancing on air and cartwheels with style, Singing with soul and looking divine. This girl who loves music and things bigger than life Is about to turn the magical age of nine! It’s all about makeup, perfume and clothes In a bedroom full of colors and dreams.

I believe in miracles, I truly do. And I believe miracles happen all around us, every day, in many ways.

* “The Sound of Music” first aired on the big screen on March 2nd, 1965. One of my favorite songs, no pun intended, from the movie is “My Favorite Things.” My fifth grade class at Robbins School in Omaha performed it at our Christmas concert. The girls all wore mittens.
