One day long ago, my brother pulled into Bluffton in his aging Volvo, a bike carrier on the back. On the carrier was a tandem bicycle that suggested his trip wasn't as easy as usual. He admitted that passing trucks in the hills of VA and West VA was a bit on the dicey side.
But bless his heart for taking his chances. He and his wife, my beloved SIL, had decided that tandems were not made for riding the hills and valleys of Virginia, especially when one's house is situated on a stone road that is well beyond the "End state road maintenance" sign.
Check out the green plants growing at the corner of Bixel and Pandora Road. It's hard to believe that June is that far off. These are some of the strawberry plants in the Suter fields.
Beyond Budgeting will sponsor the first-ever "trash into cash" sale from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, April 17, at Ebenezer Mennonite Church, according to Beth W. Boehr, wealth coach of Beyond Budgeting.
Admission is $1 or the donation of a non-perishable food item to benefit the Bluffton Community Assistance Program.
"The event is similar to a community-wide garage sale, but offers the convenience of being held at one location without the worries of inclement weather, said Boehr.
