This Easter, instead of spending my weekend elbow-deep in deviled eggs or politely ignoring Peeps, I climbed aboard a 100-plus-year-old train and pretended I knew things about railroads. I did not. But I learned fast. It started at the Inland Northwest Rail Museum, where I figured I'd poke around a few vintage cars, take a photo or two, and head home feeling vaguely cultured. What I got instead was a deep dive into railroad history that included a private tour, an impromptu...

Easter eggs and a Pinterest post got me thinking about Grandma Claudius Deviled Eggs. The post was about the worlds best Deviled Eggs. That recipe included a lot of different ingredients, plus Grandma's, not so secret ingredient, butter. If you have boiled eggs you should use up, or are in the mood for deviled eggs, here is my best guess at the amounts. Grandma Claudius Deviled Eggs 12 hard boiled eggs 1/2 cup mayonnaise 2 tsp prepared mustard 2 Tbsp very soft butter 1/8 tsp g...

DAVENPORT – Feeling good with cannabis may not entirely be what some people think. While many purchase marijuana products for recreation here in Washington State, there are also a significant number who use those products for medicinal purposes. Tyler West, General Manager and buyer for Natural Green at 51 Morgan St in Davenport, says, “What some people consider to be medicinal for themselves would be recreational for somebody else.” West offers for example people who use products that are high in medicinal properties but rel...

You haven't truly lived in a small town until you've run into a church basement in the middle of a queen's coronation, slightly out of breath and dressed in what was supposed to be a classic black cotton blouse. But we'll get to that. Let's rewind a bit. Saturday was a day for the books. My little sister ended her reign as Queen of Tekoa, and on the same day, I got to witness the crowning of Alyx Scheller as the new Miss Odessa. It was a full-circle moment - one queen stepping...
