Ten Years Ago July 16, 2009 Some of the Spring Valley Ranches ground was once owned by William G. Preston, who spent several years in a variety of enterprises before landing in Waitsburg and becoming one of the most prominent landowners. The Smiths farmed the ground for several decades on behalf of Preston heirs. Preston and his brother Platt, came to the Touchet Valley, arriving in Waitsburg around 1865 and soon buying a stake in the flour mill built by Sylvester M. Wait. Two new spring wheat...

Puzzles, Fun & Games for this week! Good luck :-)...
I'm a popcorn addict; once I start, it's hard for me to stop. So that is why the large bag of Chicka-Pop popcorn from Costco is not allowed in the house (for awhile). This recipe called out to me, but I won't make it until I have a gathering of some sort. Speaking of recipes, Reader Wendy mentioned to me how delicious the Zucchini Sausage Soup was and how often she makes it and often freezes it. Truth be told, I had forgotten it, but if you would like it again, I can send it to you. If anything...

Before I start, the picture I shared is of an old cookbook at Joe’s cabin. I had not really opened it before but was drawn to it like a moth to light. So much fun to read something written over a 100 years ago. The recipes mention a moderate or a hot oven; of course no temperature and no time. What I was impressed with, besides the many household and medical suggestions, was recipes giving ideas on what to do with leftovers. Things change, yet they stay the same. Do you have an old cookbook y...
Ten Years Ago July 9, 2009 When Ben Moser, 13, son of Bret and Bethany Moser of Waitsburg, opened his latest issue of the comic book Sonic Universe, he diligently read through each of the stories until being completely surprised on the next to last page, where he discovered a cartoon submission that was penned by him at his own drafting table. “I like drawing comics,” Moser said. “It’s one of my hobbies.” After a successful take-over last year-one that brought business and community service h...

Despite the adage, you absolutely can teach an old dog new tricks. In fact, no matter what amount of formal education one has had, it is possible to continue learning on into senior age. While the general consensus is that people who have long been used to doing things in a particular way will not abandon their habits, the opposite can be true. It’s beneficial to adopt the concept of continuing education as a lifestyle. The trick is, according to Harry Graham, the learner must be compelled to d...
Have fun and good luck!...
I have two recipes and I’m hoping there is room because they are both short. The first one is one I copied off of Facebook and have had on my desk for a long time. Finally, I bought some fresh strawberries and rhubarb to make it. For me, it’s a keeper. Sweet, with a little tartness. The chia seeds made it thick, but still could easily be used as a spread on pancakes. Refrigerator Jam (that may not have been the title but it’s what is written on the back of this envelope) 1 1/3 c. strawberries 2/3 c. rhubarb 2 Tbsp honey 2 Tbsp chia seeds I pur...
