By Megan Parker, CV&T Lifestyle Columnist Word travels fast… especially in a small town like Irvine. Last Friday I received a phone call at work from my mom, Sheila. Surprise! She was on her way to Kentucky for a visit and they were coming to my house. All because of my article I wrote a […]
Driving Miss Daisy, er Tish
Recently I bought a new car. Well, it’s been over 10 years since I’ve had a new car and boy have things changed. When I put the key in the ignition and turn it on, the dash lights up like a Christmas tree. I’ve never seen so many different colors of lights and […]
Snow dazed
It’s funny how you age continually, but don’t realize it or admit to it until you find yourself upside down in a ditch full of snow. This is how my dose of reality was given over this past week. With the ground covered in snow and our driveway hill perfectly coated for sleigh riding […]
Kick it into soup gear
By Megan Parker, CV&T Lifestyles Columnist When the weather starts to turn cold I go into SOUP mode at the house. We have chili for a few nights, then vegetable soup, soup beans, potato soup… I could keep going but I think you get the picture. This part of me had to come from my […]

A bad hair day
I don’t know what is wrong with my hair lately, but when I wake up in the morning it looks like a rat’s nest it is so matted. Well, maybe not a rat’s nest, I’ve never seen one of those, but more like a bird’s nest—stiff, matted, frizzy and feels like straw. I […]

‘Auld Lang Syne’
Auld Lang Syne is a familiar and popular tune that is sung traditionally as the clock strikes twelve on New Year’s Eve. The Scots title is translated into “Days Gone By” or “Long, Long Ago” and I always assumed it was a jovial tune meant to uplift the spirits. It is one of those […]
