Today's ice coating of limbs and wires feels like an ice storm By Linda Waggener While enjoying some soup around noon I was interrupted by a tremendous thud. The soup forgotten, I checked inside the house to see who or what might have fallen, then looked out the windows and saw the problem. A huge limb lay on the ground at the Arnold Waggener property line. It was a casualty of the weight of today's ice coating the trees and ground coupled with its age. When I came here, the neighbors said we'd get along just fine so long as I didn't bother the glorious Elm line tree. I promised and have never touched it. I'm sorry Mother Nature broke its limb in today's ice storm. Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2018-12-09 12:55:21 | Comments

Comment: sees Tom's Grandfather in the waffle breakfast photo Re: the waffle, egg and sausage cooked in a waffle iron By Ralph Waggener I believe I can see some "Edmonton Pendleton Waggener" in his Grandson Tom Waggener's photo. Inventive ways run in our family and Tom’s Waffle, egg and sausage all cooked at the same time on a waffle iron makes me think of Tom's Dad Ed, and our Dad, E.P., always thinking of an easier way to do something.

Meanwhile, back in The Shire... News items and ads from 65 years ago All sorts of items dotted the front page of the Adair County News published 65 years ago today -- December 9, 1953.
