COOKING WITH MUMZY!
Hello readers and friends of the Mountaineer Echo, I hope this week finds everyone in good health and happy spirits. This week has been busy, we had a long weekend in Memphis, that it put us behind on getting the paper out, but we got it. I hope everyone is enjoying the paper and how it is progressing. We are happy that things are going well and enjoy putting the newspaper together for everyone to enjoy. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and As Always remember the Little Things.
Managing Garden Pests with Pollinators in Mind
Every garden season is filled with beautiful and tasty surprises along with a few challenges. One challenge gardeners face each year is managing insect pests while keeping the pollinators safe. Fortunately, only a very small percent of insects in our landscapes are harmful. The rest help pollinate plants, feed upon, or parasitize bad insects, or help decompose plant debris.

Adventures on a Tankful
Eureka Springs is a city steeped in natural and cultural appeal in the extreme northwest of Arkansas. It’s a resort city named after the abundance of surrounding mineral pools. The same therapeutic properties that attracted Indigenous cultures and settlers to this Ozark Mountains hideaway still attract tourists today, and visitors of all ages often appreciate the history here.
On the road again…
Summer vacation in my family usually just meant not going to school and days free to spend in adventure and fun. I only recall two “real” vacations my family ever took and one of those was to attend a convention for Ohio National Life Insurance, the company my dad and Grandfather both worked for. That convention was held at The Greenbrier in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, and it was before my family moved back to Flippin when I was five years old.
