If These Tables Could Talk

Talk Tuesday in Print … Sure, there have been some good meals shared, but when the food is all cleared away, it’s the conversation around these tables that has been invaluable. From childhood to my teenage years and now, raising my own family, the table still stands as the focal point in my home and my heart. Memories have been made, lessons have been learned, and family has come together—all around the table. … I grew up next door to my grandparents. It is a blessing that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Publisher's Letter

Every neighborhood has “that” neighbor—the one whose choices cause the rest of the block to cringe a little. Maybe they leave their trash cans out too long, their lawn is not manicured as neatly as the others, they have campers and boats parked in the driveway, or they have a dog that greets every passerby with endless barking. You know the type. The real surprise, however, comes when you realize you might be that neighbor. I adore my neighborhood and its people, but I am not sure they feel the same way about us. … Just last week, during her morning walk, one of my neighbors sent me a text:

Dear Mrs. (Slightly) Sophisticated

Dear Mrs. Slightly Sophisticated, … I love watching my son play football, but some parents around me yell at the referees like they are auditioning for a reality show. How can I tell them to chill out without becoming the next viral video? … Sincerely, Ref-Rescue Ranger … Dear Ref-Rescue Ranger, … The shortest path to stopping that in its tracks is by simply bringing a black-and-white striped shirt for them to wear since they apparently know everything.

With unfamiliar words constantly emerging from music, the internet, apps, and celebrities, as well as regional slang, keeping up with the latest teen slang is nearly impossible.

Publisher's Letter

It’s that time of year again, to set the alarm clock and get back into routines. Personally, I enjoy the structure of the school year because it keeps me on track. Don’t get me wrong, I welcome summer break by the time May rolls around, but in August, when the heat is making me feel like a roasted marshmallow, I’m ready for some structure. … Our summer was a mix of memorable moments, some medical bills, and plenty of time golfing and on the lake.
