John and Nancy Wheeler will celebrate their 60th anniversary on Wednesday, March 16. They were married at the First Christian Church in Canadian. Joining them in their celebration are three of their four children: Monty Wheeler and his wife, Dianne; Stacey Wheeler and his wife, Mary Jane; and Brandon Wheeler and his wife, Rae; along with 10 grandchildren. Their oldest son, Doug Wheeler, is deceased.

March is Women’s History Month. A time to commemorate, study, observe, and celebrate the vital role of women in American history. Here at the River Valley Pioneer Museum, we’d like to invite you to take a closer look at the impact women have had, and continue to make, on Hemphill County. Several of our exhibits feature prominent women from our community, as well as items used and previously owned by locals.

My great-uncle, John, never buttered his bread. “I don’t have time for butter!” he insisted.

Came across this versatile burrito recipe from allrecipes.com and wanted to share. This one calls for pork sausage, but ground beef could be substituted as well as chorizo (forgoing taco seasoning). They list canned jalapeños, but freshcooked would work as well. Add beans, potatoes, rice, bell peppers, and a mix of cheeses. You get the idea—make this breakfast burrito just like YOU like it. It makes 20 or more burritos that can be frozen easily. Enjoy!
