Thanks, Todd Wilson, for happy ending to wasp odyssey

By Linda Waggener

Todd Wilson had the opportunity to be my hero today when I was taking the shortcut up Hurt Street to pick up a cheeseburger for Ed who was working a double shift writing on Columbiamagazine.com.

Rounding the curve by the Arnold's horse pasture, I glimpsed something on my upper arm between the hand that held the steering wheel and my shoulder that was not a piece of jewelry on my sleeve. It had fluttering wings but was no butterfly which I'd have enjoyed sharing the car with. This winged thing looked like it was aimed, posed to take a bite of me! It was a huge wasp! Really, it was huge!!

Carol Perkins: I admire clever mothers

A Halloween essay. The celebration, then and now.
Next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: A toothache hurts, but a backache is grueling

By Carol Perkins

I admire clever mothers. I'm not sure I was ever very clever. I made a bunny cake one Easter that Carla still remembers, but Martha Stewart I was not. Youngsters are lucky if they have clever mothers who work each holiday into a memorable cooking event.

For instance, not so long ago I heard a young mother telling about how she and her husband and children "cooked up" Halloween meals, drinks, and treats for several days prior to Halloween- all according to a theme. Slim cookies, orange punch, worms in the spaghetti sauce, and other such cute ideas! What impressed me was the fact all of them did this together. "Your children will have wonderful memories," I said.
