- While waiting in line for tacos yesterday a flyer caught my attention only because I saw the name “Della”. I’ve only known one person with that name, my grandmother. The purpose of the flyer was to help raise funds for the funeral Della Waire, a former employee of the Lewisville Public Library, a place our family visits quite often. For some reason, I just felt the need to chip in, and you can too here.

- I’m still loving my battery-powered lawn mower, and I believe this is my fourth summer of using it. For my yard size, it’s perfect and I’ve never run out of juice. I think what I like best is not having to worry about any gas spilling from the gas can as I take it to fill it up, though I may feel different if I actually owned a pickup. I feared getting gas in the interior and always smelling fumes every time I got inside. It’s a Ryobi 40-volt lithium-ion mower in case you were wondering.
