Garden Tip: If you have a build up sediment in the bottom of your vases, use some dry rice or salt. Place it in the bottom with a small amount of water. Shake real hard, pour out. Redo if all of the sediment is not removed. Do not use quick cooking rice.

I hope everyone has noticed that the price of stamps has gone up two cents since May 12, 2009. Your post person has to place the extra on your letter if you do not add the extra amount. Our post lady is so special and we appreciate her for all the special help she gives everyone on her route.

• Happy birthday to: Amos Winnett on July 13; Chris James and J.D. Landrum on July 15. Hope all of you have a great year.

• Our country sure needs our prayers and the troops that are in harms way and all of the troops that are serving our country. We give honor to all that have served before and all of the fallen soldiers and their families. May God bless America.
