Thoughts While ShavingBeginning today, we will pay sales tax on many new items and services, thanks to the NC Legislature.

We will likely have a pretty good idea who the candidates for president will be following Super Tuesday, tomorrow.  Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont and Virginia all hold elections.  Colorado voters will caucus as well as one party or the other in Alaska and American Samoa.  Confused????

North Carolina voters head to the polls in a couple of weeks, Tuesday, March 15.

Happy Birthday to all the Leap Year babies.  A reminder today is February 29…..

February is expected to be another good month for BladenOnline, despite just 29 days.  This is fun and we believe we are providing a valuable service to Bladen County.  It’s a team effort and The Best Is Yet To Come.

Yesterday was a huge day at Wesley’s Chapel UMC.  Janice Johnson, critically injured in an vehicle accident 9/11/14, returned for a visit along with her family and friends including Rev. David Wade who delivered the sermon.  A huge crowd attended…..

Janice was my longtime walking “buddy.”(27 years).  We (my bride and I) were not in attendance.  We were celebrating the birthdays of our two grandchildren in Smithfield.  We visit Janice on a fairly regular basis at the Pender County hospital in Burgaw.  She is in the extended care unit there and enjoys company, if you are in the area.

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

May angels fly with you wherever you roam and guide you back safely to family and home.

Grief is like the ocean, it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing.  Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it is overwhelming.  All we can do is learn to swim.  Vickie Harrison
