Jaelyn Jimenez is ready to move on with her life and do normal things that 10-year-olds do. As summer approaches, she can't wait to go swimming and camping. These are things she hasn't been able to do since she was diagnosed with leukemia at 5 but having cancer also gave her the gift of leadership, a skill she used Friday night to lead fellow local cancer survivors around Eastern New Mexico University's Greyhound Arena at the 16th annual American Cancer Society Relay For Life...

It isn't every day the yard is covered in snacks. Crunchy on the outside, they have a nutty flavor, similar to peanuts or almonds, according to those who partake. Suspended inside vibrant colored gelatin, they are sure to cause a buzz of conversation at a party. They also make for good pizza toppers, add a crunch to homemade candy and ice cream, and make for a chewy treat when found fresh and glistening — or so some say. They can even be roasted and salted for a crispy treat. In a way it makes sense to explore the p...
Eastern New Mexico University's chances of reaching the Lone Star Conference baseball tournament took another major hit on Friday night.

Vacation was over. There was one more thing to do. We were in search of the best chicken pot pie ever. And it was sold in the deli of a supermarket somewhere in L.A. (Lower Alabama). The Lady of the House and I had discovered it on our last trip when we stopped at a supermarket for some road food. We sat in our car on that cool fall day and dug into our eats. "Mmmm," I said. "This is the best chicken pot pie I've EVER had." The chicken had a freshly roasted flavor to it, the gravy was smooth and tasty, the vegetables weren't... Full story
