It’s hard to sum up 100 years of life, love, work, faith and service in just a simple story here, but I hope I’ve been able to capture and preserve a little bit of the life of a woman who has spent the last century preserving so much of her own history.
My latest venture in the reporting world was spent celebrating an amazing woman turning 100-years-old in Spokane Valley. Here is the story:
Much like smoke in the summertime or potholes in the… all the time, October is blue ash aphid season in Spokane.
I believe that means we are legally obligated to do a story on them and this year, I drew the aphid straw.
I was tasked with finding out what we can do about them and how long they will be around. The short answers: Nothing and a couple of weeks. But that would’ve only been like a 15-second story, so I stretched it out.
Enjoy!
I like to joke a lot. But this is totally serious: I won free hamburgers. For life.
I still have no idea what this means, as I’m waiting on information from Wendy’s and HQ Trivia, but essentially, I didn’t want to watch that awful halftime show of Super Bowl LIII, so I played bacon-themed trivia on the HQ app.
Not only did I answer all twelve questions right (OK, I used an extra life) and won $2.98, but I was ultimately selected to win FREE HAMBURGERS FOR LIFE FROM WENDY’S!
From now on, all my debts will be paid… in hamburgers.
Here’s how it played out and here’s what I plan to do with it.
