A Mother's Day gift, beyond its material form, is a gesture of love and appreciation tailored to your mom. It's a way of saying "I see you" and acknowledging all she does. A thoughtful gift shows you've paid attention to her interests, hobbies or even the little things that make her life easier. It can be a source of pampering, a reminder of cherished memories or a spark of joy for something new she's been wanting. Ultimately, a Mother's Day gift is a symbol of the love and connection that...

I’ve had the pleasure and the honor to play multiple sports throughout my lifetime. I have covered several more as a former broadcaster and journalist, and I have been exposed to several game environments, but for some reason none of them compare to the sanctity of the baseball diamond. I cannot put my finger on it, but even as a kid and an adolescent there was something about the baseball diamond that just made life outside of those fences disappear for a while. This feeling even continued f...

I love the song "Blowin' in the Wind," written and first sung by Bob Dylan, then performed by many folk icons including Peter, Paul and Mary and Joan Baez. The words and melody weave between war, freedom and peace, asking and answering its own questions. How many roads, how many years, how many tears? The answers are both obvious and intangible at the same time, intangible as the wind. The Tehachapi Wind Festival at Meadowbrook Park was promoted for April 20 as a family affair of kite flying, ga...

This wildflower year in the Tehachapi Mountains may not be a superbloom (whatever that means), but a slightly wetter than usual winter and spring has produced some beautiful flowering events here and there.

This flower is not on most people's "wildflower must-see" list, but it should be, because these little blossoms are charmingly beautiful. Bird's Eye Gilia even has...

National days of prayer have been declared all the way back to the times of the 13 colonies, by presidents George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Harry Truman. In 1988, President Ronald Reagan made it law that the first Thursday in May would always be the National Day of Prayer. This year it will fall on Thursday, May 2.

When I was a child and we became ill, my mother took over with a few home remedies. If that didn’t work we didn’t exactly call the doctor for in the mid-’30s in Mojave, we had no phone ... not many people did. My brother would be told to run two blocks up the street to Doctor Warner’s office/residence. Dr. Warner would come by in his old two-door Model A Ford sedan. It was officially called the Model A Ford Tudor Sedan. A very handsome automobile, but not the one owned by Dr. Warner. His was...
