Many families have an unofficially designated genealogist, that one person who doggedly slogs through the past, collecting the fragments of information that tell our histories. In my family, it’s my cousin Sherry. I’m not sure how she became the keeper of our story, but she does it well and I am grateful. It was thanks to Sherry — and an unnamed staff member at the Rice County Historical Society in Faribault, Minn., — that I found myself last week standing in a place I’d nev... Full story
I suppose there are worse places than Tater Town where a body could grow up. While Chicago is known as the Windy City and New York as the Big Apple, Portales had its choice of nicknames when I was growing up. Some called us Goober Gulch and others preferred Tater Town. Either one fit us as we grew both peanuts and sweet potatoes but somehow we eventually became known more for our peanuts. My dad grew both crops. He was able to obtain peanut allotments from the government so... Full story

I love all God’s creatures, but I’ve never been a feline fancier. I have two different cats that greet me at my mailbox. They trade off hanging out in my rose bush and I can cat talk with either with yowls but neither will approach. That’s kind of the way cats are, things are on their terms. I experienced a bit of childhood trauma because of a barn cat and her fuzzy little kittens. It all happened early one morning when I had nothing better to do than torment my little siste...

I think I may be slowly evolving into a water snob. No, this change has nothing to do with the tribulations of my community and its municipal water supply. Instead, the evolution arose from my aging refrigerator. My fridge has an icemaker; it just doesn’t work. I’ve replaced it once but it eventually stopped working again. I believe the problem is rooted in the hard water we have in these parts that deposits a crusty scale on plumbing, coffee makers and icemakers. I dec...

Now, after 70 years, it's a suburb of the Twin Cities. The...
I love fall, but not for the pumpkin-spice-flavored drinks. I prefer piñon coffee when the mornings turn chilly. Speaking of chile, I prefer mine green when the leaves turn gold. I may have discussed it before, but I bemoan the fact that for most of my working life I’ve been too busy in the fall to really get out and enjoy this spectacular season. Sure we’ve taken our road trips in early October to do a little leaf peeping. My late wife’s birthday fell on Oct. 4 so we had a...
It’s unique New Mexican cuisine, tasty and half a century old. I can’t be talking about anything but the Allsup’s burrito. No, the burrito itself hasn’t been sitting under a heat lamp for that long but the concept has endured for 50 years. That’s right, since 1974, they’ve been frying those yummy little gut bombs at an “Allsup’s near you.” Apparently we’re about a month into a year-long celebration of the world famous burrito from eastern New Mexico. A month in and I stil...
