I think Pollyanna might have gotten a bum rap. More than once in my life, I’ve been accused of having a “Pollyanna attitude.” I didn’t actually know what this meant, except that it was not a good thing. Being “a Pollyanna” implied having an unrealistically sunny view of whatever was happening.

MUSEUM HAPPENINGS

Sequins, fringe, and fedoras filled the River Valley Pioneer Museum during Saturday’s Canadian/Hemphill County Chamber of Commerce Roaring 20s Casino Night.

Tina Jarosek shared this recipe (and delicious pie) with the newspaper staff on a Wednesday. That and coffee from Brown Bag next door got the Canadian Record to press. Delicious, not too sweet, you will love this pie!

Bob suggested we all do push-ups.

Ashley Morales of Hemphill Country Hospital presented at last week’s Rotary Club meeting. Morales’s presentation covered five areas of service provided by the Hemphill County Hospital: home health, hospice, personal assistance services, transitional care management, and remote patient monitoring.

A new month has brought a new exhibit. In March and April, we are featuring Booker artist Kellye Orel. Stay tuned for the date of her reception. The museum staff is cleaning and prepping with the appropriate supplies to keep our visitors safe in this “Flu” season.

The River Valley Pioneer Museum annual membership drive is underway. There are several layers of memberships available, and each one comes with different benefits.

Some days, when the snow is falling in giant wet clumps outside our windows, and the Panhandle wind starts blowing it sideways, it just makes sense to take a break from work and run outside to play.

At its core, the ingredients are simple: pie crust, eggs, milk or cream, and your favorite fillings. The key to getting your quiche just right is the custard. The smooth-baked mixture at the heart of any quiche. The basis of this recipe is from www.cookinglight.com.
