- History in progress?
- February 3, 2010
- The storm that recently hit the state surely made an impact. Outside of Payson where I live, we had well over a couple feet of snow along with rain mixed in. We had power outages — power outages, which weigh a little heavier on everyone after the extended one in December. Commentators have called this a storm for the ages and I’ve read comparisons of it to the flood of 1970, so let’s take a look at where this might rank years from now.

- Quilters’ cruise was a big success
- February 3, 2010
- Last fall, we did a quilters’ cruise to Mexico from San Diego. It was convenient for quilters to drive to San Diego with their sewing machines, which they then carried on the ship. We had two days of classes on the sea days, leaving the days in port free for excursions, shopping, even parasailing! We had 16 cabins with quilters from Pine and Strawberry, Payson, Gisela and Phoenix. Even some husbands went along for the fun. One gentleman’s comment when he first laid eyes on the buffet was, “I thought I’d died and gone to heaven.”

- Getting to know the amish
- February 3, 2010
- Many years ago when I was a young television director working my way up the ladder to the big time and living in Indiana, it was suggested by the TV station’s program director that I do a documentary about the Amish. There are counties in Indiana that are heavily populated by the religious group, and little was known about them since they lived their lives primarily with their own population. They were successful farmers mostly, and their lives revolved around that business. I thought this would make a good documentary so agreed to do it.
