It' a a time to visit cemeteries where some we love - many of them veterans of WWII, including he Five Sullivan Brothers, are buried. The trek is a circle from Metcalfe County, through Adair County, then to Cumberland County and back again
Next earlier column: Carol Perkins: When you frankly just want to slap somebody Posted May 11, 2014.

By Carol Sullivan

Memorial Day is the quietest day of the year. A reverent time. A time when my mother and I place a dozen or so arrangements in the back of my car and go from one cemetery to another where someone we love is buried. Of these, many of them are veterans of WWII.

Happy Tail: After many sad moments, Month of May ending well

There were heartbreaks in May. Peg Schaeffer's beloved older sister died on Mother's day. There was the loss of a wonderful 'personal' dog, Linus. Some adoptions went awry. Macho, reluctant to be adopted left Sugarfoot with a look Peg could not forget - 'Why are you doing this to me?' - and went missing and is still missing, last spotted in the Melson Ridge area. But in a moment when the floodgate of self pity tears almost opened, the dogs changed her mood changing heartbreak to heartwarming, an un-Happy Tale to a happy one. Click on headline of story, dog for adoption, and photo(s) including the classic one of missing Macho.
The next earlier column: Happy Tales: Fairy tales do come true> Posted May 18, 2014.

By Peg Schaeffer

The month of May hasn't been a good one for me. One of my personal dogs, Linus, a Beagle/Jack Russell Terrier mix, jumped off the bed and landed wrong. He couldn't move his hind legs. I took him to the vet and he was examined and an x-ray was done. A disc at the base of his neck had dislocated.The vet gave me some pain medication for him and pills to promote healing. She said he should be better in 10 days. He didn't improve, he just got worse.

Joe Hare: On school in session on Memorial Day; proper respect

'Being in school will not show the younger generation the importance that we all should be showing on this very important day of honor for our fallen.' - JOE HARE

Joe Hare writes:
I agree with Mr. Dickinson that is going to school Monday, Memorial Day probably will not affect the children. I think he has missed the point made by Melissa Stone and that is the lack of respect it is showing our Veterans that have given their lives so that we have the freedoms we have.

Being in school will not show the younger generation the importance that we all should be showing on this very important day of honor for our fallen.

God Bless America. --Joe Hare

So Open to Infinity

For years I have been a mild fan of baseball.

In junior high and high school I was a fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers mainly because my best friend -- a friendship newly minted because of school consolidation -- was a Yankee fan.

Next earlier Chuck Hinman column - The Old Church Piano

By Chuck Hinman

Love At First Sight

Recently I was having an evening meal at a local eatery with family who were here for Memorial Day.

While waiting for our food, a baby with his family at an adjoining table became extremely unhappy. His mother, trying everything to get him to stop crying, stood up with him over her shoulder. That wasn't the solution. He was having a ring tailed fit.
