We love cookies in Odessa. I have quite a backlog of cookie recipes waiting to be printed. Quick bars, rolled or frosted drop cookies, there is something here for just about any cookie occasion.

1 years ago From The Odessa Record February 27, 1914 County Superintendent Wm. U. Neeley strongly endorsed the plan for a new civic center auditorium. Neeley wrote a letter in which he pointed out his view of the situation. The civic center movement has doubtless done more for the widening of the public school system than any other one movement in the past half century. While it is comparatively new to our state, the plan has been successfully carried out in many other states, especially in the State of Wisconsin. The...

When my husband, Tom, gave his retirement sermon in our church in Buckley, his topic was “A man with no regrets.” Not many people can say that of their lives, but he could. Tom and I have many, many great memories in our 55 years together (50 married). The greatest was serving the Lord for 42 years. Another was how each of our children came to us through adoption. Over the years, Tom traveled to many states to teach pastors; he loved doing that. He also had no regrets writing his book “The Grace Based Life”, which wasn’t...
The rally in grains has continued over the last two weeks. Dry conditions in the Southern Plains and decent export demand have finally forced the speculative commodity funds to cover about half of their record short position in the wheat futures. Corn and soybeans have also moved higher as investment funds have lightened their positions in equities and shifted some of their funds back into the commodity markets. Technically the market is now overbought and possibly due for a technical correction at some point. On the...
“Without labor, neither knowledge nor wisdom can accomplish much.” -FFA opening ceremonies, Advisor In my pursuit of happiness I have found that, in great part, the aspect of that pursuit which has brought the most toil, yet by far the most satisfaction, is the collection of knowledge. Within every category of knowledge, there is so much to be known that there never will be a single being alive who can acquire every bit of fact about it. Thus, knowledge is never-ending. We can know nothing, yet we can never know everything. W...
