Cooking with Mumzy!
Hello friends and readers of the Mountaineer Echo, I hope this week finds you all healthy and in happy spirits. The calendar says it is Spring, but the temperature outside says different. I am ready for it to get warmer. But defiantly not ready for 100 degrees. I will take the 80’s all year long please. So, I hope everyone had a great Spring Break. We had a good one, didn’t really do too much just worked and enjoyed time with the family. This week I am giving you some recipes of Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwiches which I find very tasty. Also here are a few things that I love to eat with peanut butter, it is a good snack and when added with apples, celery, crackers, strawberries, it is a refreshing taste. Enjoy and have a great week, and Remember All the Little Things in Life, enjoy them and savor every moment.

Marion County Thrift Shop Gives Back to Community
If you have never visited the Marion County Thrift shop, you might want to give it a try. It is a small shop located on the South side of the Yellville Square. All the items in this shop are donated items from generous folks in and around the community. The shop is the workplace of the Marion County Nursing Home/Thrift Shop Auxiliary, and ALL the workers are volunteers! Unfortunately, we have lost some of our volunteers to health issues this year and need dependable workers. If you are interested, please come by the shop, and pick up an application.
