Stop by the Northeast Texas Rural Heritage Museum for your photo op with the 8 foot Solar Eclipse Glasses display. The City of Pittsburg gathered local craftsmen and artists together to create the display. The lenses are not “solar safe,” but the ear pieces fold to keep the glasses mobile. They will be at different locations around town in the days leading up to the Solar Eclipse on April 8. They are currently located in the Ezekiel Room in the Annex of the museum. Come by for a tour starting in the Depot and finish with your own photo to commemorate the April solar event. Be sure to look at the front and both sides of the earpieces for depictions of local points of interest, famous locals and cuisine. If you want to see who had a hand in creating the 8 foot glasses, you can find their signatures on the back of the glasses. Museum hours are Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

For the 33nd time, thanks to honors donors such as Drs. Jim and Paula Archer, NTCC honors students were able to take a free, day-trip to a big city. Seventeen students and four faculty drivers left campus at 7:45 a.m., 26 January for a whirlwind experience that began with free breakfasts at Starbucks in Greenville, and ended with the musical, I love you, You’re Perfect, Now Change, in Garland. The itinerary also included an encounter with the Southern Methodist University organist, Benjamin Kolodziej, shopping and skating at the Galleria, a visit to the Dallas cultural district, a special scavenger hunt designed by Christine Yox of Mount Pleasant, and a late-night stop at Bucees.

I have friends

n 2009, I went on my church’s choir/orchestra tour to Argentina. It was a fantastic trip, but I was really pushing the envelope for me to get outside my “comfort zone.” What a trip! What sights to see! Everyone was taking pictures and posting on Facebook so their “friends” could stay up-to-date on the trip. Everyone had Facebook accounts, but little old me knew little about Facebook and had, at the most, 10 FB friends. I remember thinking, “I wish I had friends.”
