Mexia resident Karsha Ross said everything is blooming and vibrant with life during the springtime. It’s a time for dead, dreary things to flourish and come alive, she said.
Alicia Berger, second-grade teacher at AB McBay Elementary said she enjoys attending events her students participate in, like sports or the Rotary Club of Mexia’s 66th annual Talent Show.
American songwriter Cindy Walker was fearless.
Dear Heloise: When I want to serve ice cream after dinner, I find that it is usually too hard to scoop straight out of the freezer. Leaving it on the counter for a little while allows it to melt around the edges, while leaving the center hard. I discovered that if I move it from the freezer to the refrigerator about an hour before serving, it softens nicely and can be easily scooped. Just don’t forget to put it back in the freezer! -- Sherrill, Forest, Virginia
Dear Heloise: I just read your column on using ice cubes to clean the disposal. This has worked very well for me for decades. After doing that several times recently on our stinky disposal, I used a spatula to pull back the rubber retainer at the very top to see if there was anything still stuck in the disposal, only to find the culprit. The underside of that retainer was truly gross. After cleaning it, the odors left. This cleaning was definitely needed, but not pleasant. Perhaps your readers will find it helpful. -- C. Moser, Green Valley, Arizona
