On Nutrition: Corn huskers
It gave a new meaning to being “outstanding in your field.” My son-in-law called to invite us to help put up some of his neighbor’s fresh corn.
Reminisce: Lima Star newspaper failed 9 1/2 months after debut
In July 1965, the Lima News, which had just completed a two-story addition to its plant in the 100 block of East High Street, devoted three pages in a Sunday edition to explain the newspaper’s operation for the benefit of subscribers, and to do a little bragging with statistics about its dominance in the region for the benefit of advertisers.
Real Life Mama: Limiting teen’s screen time was tough, but worth it

The hats in Season 2 of ‘The Gilded Age’ are ready for their close-up
A lot of us have been waiting for this one, right? “The Gilded Age,” “Downton Abbey” creator Julian Fellowes’ soapy but delightful drama set in 1880s New York, returns for a second season on Max (formerly HBO Max) on Oct. 29.

I love how every hat at this gathering looks ready to take wing and fly away from its wearer.
