  • TWISTED

    Bright, warm sunlight peeped through the clouds briefly on Easter Sunday as John and Carol Cuneo took advantage of a break in the rain showers to survey the mess at their Folsom Jonesville Road home.

    Twenty-four hours earlier, John Cuneo watched a tornado touch down in his side yard, veer around a barn and head for his house.

    “I was standing on the back deck and I heard this woo, woo, woo sound and then I saw it sit down right there,” he said, pointing to the barn about 200 feet from his wooden, frame home.

  • Cherish past, learn from mistakes, move forward

    There’s an old saying, ‘there’s no friends like old friends’ and I believe this to be a true statement.

    Even though, I’m 29 (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) I still “hang” out with friends from my high school days. Actually, they’re friends from elementary school. We often take trips together including one to the Virgin Islands. We also get together regularly to eat and catch up on each other’s lives. We’re making plans to go to Gatlinburg and annually go to Cumberland Lake for a girl’s weekend.
