Paula and Sarah had this joyous moment with Seth 2016-06-27 - West VA - Photo from Sarah Ball. Paula Ball, center, and her daughter Sarah at left, would give anything to have Seth alive and well again. His life was cut short by drug addiction and they share his story in hopes of helping other families dealing with the same problem. Seth Aaron Eaton's story was posted a few days ago but this photo was delayed because they lost power due to the flooding in West Virginia, not far from where they live. Paula said their road was flooded for a short time but they didn't get the worst of it. Other than no electricity for 24 hours and lots of downed trees, they made it alright.

Rides VII: 1957 Chevy pickup has been friend for 32 years 2016-06-27 - Birch Road, East Adair County, KY - Photo by Tommy Bailey. NOT FOR SALE, NOW: This 1957 Chevy has been my friend for 32 years now. Of course it stays in storage about 95% of the time. When driving it, I may stop at a station or store and hardly have time to get out of it before I'm approached by some one wanting to know if I would sell it. My answer has always been "not now" But I know that one day it will have to go. - TOMMY BAILEY Next previous RIDE: Rides - Christina Raymond's Pink Jeep: Her favorite color and a statement To share your favorite ride, text a phone photo with your name, town, vehicle make/model to Linda at 270-403-0017.

KY Color: Tree pruning lessons. #3 Healing, Correctly Pruned 2016-06-27 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. #3 is a Sugar Maple limb which was pruned correctly at or near the limb collar.
