Shout-Out to Vernell's Interstate Service for helping our family out of a tricky situation.  Check out this picture of our middle child's car perched precariously on the side of a drop-off, with about an 8 ft. fall to a very cold creek below.  She had an angel watching out for her on this deal.

Keep this number in your phone... (618) 993-6250!  If you slide off the road, make sure you are safe, make sure people around you are safe, then call Vernell's!

It's happening on Saturday, January 25th at the Pavilion in Marion!  The 13th Annual Red Carpet Gala to benefit Hospice of Southern Illinois at the Pavilion in Marion!  The theme this year is "Love Me, Love Me Not", featuring LIVE music and entertainment, delicious food and drinks, and dancing all night long!  It's the biggest fundraiser of the year for this much needed local Southern Illinois charity.  I had an opportunity to speak with Jennifer Vinyard from Hospice of Southern Illinois, and Will Davis, President and CEO of Deaconess Illinois on this morning's Kent in the Country Morning Show!

This power outage is terrible!  Next time be ready with AES Solar!  Yes, they have been doing solar installations since 1999, but, did you know they have been doing back-up power solutions as well!  Next time be ready for the storm with AES Solar!

It happens every year, and it's usually the week before Christmas.  'Ol Aunt Verna gets into the kitchen and starts her holiday baking, which usually includes large amounts of rum.  Today, on the Kent in the Country Morning Show, she was baking her rum bars... good luck with that!
