Not too bad for 4 days of work…
Today is Juneteenth, a holiday that commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. Banks, federal offices, & others likely closed today … Call ahead…
When I was a youngster, many, many years ago … Sunday was just about the only day off … still had to feed the animals…
One more thought along that line … Whatever you do, never let the cow eat ‘bitter weed’, causing the milk to taste bad … I have no idea what bitterweed looks like, but I did know it was bad in the milk…
We seldom eat homemade biscuits today … Remember mom making two large sheets of biscuits, two or three times a day … A 25-pound bag of Famo flour did not last long … with 6 hungry mouths to feed … sorry, eight to feed … including mom and dad…
A reminder of the Bladen We Care Golf Tournament, just two days away … being played at River Landing near Wallace … Sold out…
What’s on your agenda for the week?
July 4th, just a couple of weeks away … Plans?
Have you traveled NC 53 in the White Lake area recently … The Water Slide is a huge attraction … Drive with care, youngsters and adults on the move … Bladen County is a great place to visit while on vacation…
55 counties were carved from Bladen … the “Mother of Counties”. It still contains 879 square miles and is the fourth largest county in the state.
