Mrs. Dearing’s 5th grade students at Community Christian School are studying “states of matter” in Science. They experimented with dry ice to better understand “state changes.” Through discovery learning they were able to watch dry ice sublimate (when anything solid turns into a gas without first becoming a liquid). Students eagerly observed the physical properties of the matter as they watched, interacted, and experimented with the dry ice as it went through the sublimati...

It is not hard to imagine Dr. Jimmy Jones in a black suit, wearing a flat crowned black hat, medical bag by his side, driving a horse drawn buggy making house calls. His attitude about the practice of medicine fits that scenario better than the hustle and bustle of today’s world. At a recent reception honoring both his 75th birthday and the 50th anniversary of his beginning to practice medicine, one thing was prevalent; he deeply cares for his patients and his patients care f...

Starting at Mauriceville Elementary School, and going to each of the other schools the group was comprised of members of th...
SUPER BOWL DONE--WAITING ON SPRING The Ground Hog saw its shadow Monday. That’s suppose to mean six more weeks of winter. If that is so, it means we have until mid-March before putting away our coats. My guess is here in South East Texas, winter will be history before the end of February, maybe sooner. I’ll just be glad when it quits yo-yoing, mid 30’s one day, 70 degrees the next. I would never trade Orange County weather for that horrible snow and 14-degree weather in the North East or drought conditions in San Franc...

Check it out, I'm sure you will get lost in it as much as I do. Check Peggy out her...
Pork is my favorite meat whether it is ham, bacon, pork roast, ribs, sausage or pork chops. I especially like cooking pork chops because there are such a large variety of ways to prepare them. This is the one pot KEEPER recipe meal I chose for my sister-in-law and my dinner recently. Since it was only the two of us I used only two pork chops, two medium size potatoes and two carrots. As they simmered, they cooked down and I did have to add a bit more water. The pork chops...
