Most people have a desire to be in a better place tomorrow than they are today. It’s part of what makes the human race advance – the need to improve and be better. It doesn't matter what the goal is. It could be physical, emotional, professional, spiritual, etc. Some people get to where they want to be faster than most, while others never achieve anything they wanted in life.

Dear FASHIONGRANNY,

I have had cancer and have just recently been declared cancer free! There is, of course, so much to go along with that – one being starting a new crop of hair!

I used to be a redhead, naturally and with a little help from Clairol, but now my hair is growing in finer, curlier and whiter! Should I embrace “au natural”?

Signed,

Stage Four No More

Four locals eager for hunting season reveal the differences among deer hunters.

One hunts deer with a bow and arrow high in the camouflage of a tree. One is a sheriff deputy and taxidermist who hunts by rifle with his three daughters. One hunts in fellowship as the president of a hunting club. One is a local good ‘ol boy who hunts a country road by foot with a keen eye and lives off his land. These huntsmen may have different styles, but all of them cultivated a devout passion for hunting as young boys. All of them have been waiting for August 15, the first day of hunting season, in great anticipation.
