In the tradition-steeped world of literature, a major brouhaha rages between fans of digital reading devices and those who see “e-books” as proof the End Times are near. Lost in all this emotion is the fact that some readers embrace technology for strictly practical reasons.
These are folks whose vision is limited due to congenital disability, disease, eye injury or typical effects of aging. They have no dog in the fight; all they want is a practical, affordable way to continue... Read More

(ARA) – Boomers expect to stay in their homes and live independently into their later years, but in the midst of change that is occurring in their households, it’s easy for them to lose focus on planning for their own future housing needs.
New research by The Hartford shows that 40 percent of boomers have experienced or anticipate experiencing family member changes in and out of the home, mostly related to their children. However, 70 percent of boomers have not made... Read More

Everyone has a soft spot in their heart for orphans. No one should have to grow up without being part of a family.
From the fictional Annie to the real life Wendy of the Wendy’s hamburger chain, stories of Americans helping orphans are part of our culture.
For the average Southeast Texas senior citizen, it can be difficult or impossible to adopt another child. There are little things we can do to help though.
One is participating in a Southeast Texas fun run that raises... Read More

On November 13, 1925, Spindletop produced its second major oil boom when the Yount-Lee Oil Company used new technology to drill on the flanks of Spindletop Hill.
As a result of this discovery – and the wealth that followed, Miles Yount and his wife, Pansy, soon became known as some of the most important breeders of horses in the United States.
Gladys City will celebrate this historically important second Spindletop boom with a historical lecture in the morning.

Less than one percent of professional athletes maintain name recognition a decade after they stop playing.
Their great deeds fade out of the memories of all but their family and a handful of their biggest fans. Even fewer are ever acknowledged, even fleetingly, as the greatest to ever play their sport.
Ask in any bar, barbershop, or sports radio show for the greatest player in any single sport and you will set off hours or days of debate and possibly a fist fight. Michael Jordan... Read More

Recently, I was driving on Highway 69 in Beaumont when a loud “ping” signaled that it was time to fill up on gas. I pulled off on Lucas and into the corner gas station.
A fully uniformed soldier was standing with his military duffel. It was on my heart to go over and say something, but I first started the tedious process of gassing up my vehicle- inserting my credit card, putting in my pin, selecting the fuel type.
In that short time, less than a couple of minutes, my heart... Read More

Many baby boomers assume they will end up in a nursing home if they develop a chronic illness. But that’s not true for most of us. The vast majority of people who become chronically ill are cared for in their own home by a loved one or a friend. That includes more than two-thirds of people diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease.
So why do most chronically ill people move into a nursing home? It may surprise you to learn that it’s not because their health worsens.... Read More

Whether it’s at work, at home or among friends, building and maintaining relationships is one of the most important parts of life. As people get older, however, the ways in which connections are made and kept change due to life adjustments, new technology and health.
Those changes often mean challenges. For instance, hearing loss is a common cause of diminishing connections. Those who suffer from it might be reluctant to say or do anything, but not being able to hear can... Read More

One of the first books I read was by Zane Grey. It was about a Mountain man and his adventures hunting, trapping, and fighting Indians. His books show a very descriptive frontier life and with boyish enthusiasm. Most of the Zane Grey books I’ve read were about the early frontier or Westerns, but he also wrote books that were more contemporary (for the time). His book Boulder Dam has been re-released in large print. Boulder Dam is about the construction of the Hoover... Read More
