Tales from Tate’s Lane Uncategorized by Livi West - October 11, 2019October 11, 20190 photo by Scott Robertson What is a Sept/Oct issue without a few ghost stories and some goosebumps? When I was a young Girl Scout eating s’mores around the campfire, we’d pass a flashlight to shine on our faces and try to get the hair on each other’s necks to stand up. My mother, whose camp name is Mama Bear, never failed to tell the best story. Usually, we’d force her to retell our favorite, which she called “The Cemetery Rat.” She should have won a Campfire Emmy the way she delivered it, with facial expressions and various animated voices (but I just invented Campfire Emmys…you’re welcome, Scouts.)

Remembering Those We Memorialize Community Features News by Krys Midgett - October 11, 2019October 11, 20190 written by Jeanna Bradley I would like to take a moment of your time to talk about something most people don’t often think about.

Weather, pollution, and many environmental elements cause wear and damage to the lovingly chosen stone. Most cemeteries take care of the grounds, but not the actual markers. Well-intentioned but improper cleaning methods can also cause permanent damage, so here are a few guidelines to maintain these memories. Do gently brush off grass
Nothing Better Than Soup News Recipes by Livi West - October 11, 2019October 11, 20190 It’s that time of year again! School has started, Target is selling sweaters and everything is coming up pumpkin spice. Despite the hype, we’re in the South and it was still 90 degrees outside today, but at least it dropped dramatically when the sun went down. Soon, it will be chilly after dark and we’ll get to wear all of our adorable flannels and boots without looking naively optimistic. When colder weather comes, we’re going to need chicken soup. Nothing warms the heart, soul and body like chicken soup. As prevalent as it is in our kitchens, there are a million variations of this simple recipe. Amber Hamilton has been a friend of mine for a decade or more and has
The World According To George Community Features News by George Hedges - October 11, 2019October 11, 20190 Road Trip I’ve always enjoyed driving around on the roads ‘Between the Lakes.’ Back in the good old days, it was ‘Between the Rivers.’ You had the mighty Cumberland River and Stones River. There were not as many roads then and most of them were gravel, at best. photo by Scott Robertson I was not the only one on the roads. My high school friends (let’s just call them Wilber and Bob) and I couldn’t stand sitting around the house watching the three channels on TV. (Except one time I saw the Beatles live on The Ed Sullivan Show on NBC, back in 1964. They were this new Rock & Roll musical group from England.

He remembers asking his mom ‘Who is that man?’ Dupré was immediately drawn to his voice and he knew that he wanted to be a singer when he grew up.
