We Made It!!Oh, what a beautiful day it was

in Tuscaloosa on May 6th! Not acloud in the sky and a perfectbreeze to help make celebratingAlex’s graduation the best itcould be.

When I wrote last month that Imay shed a few tears ... I was sowrong! I had river falls runningdown my cheeks and it didn’t stopfor 3 days!

Alex is now on his way to themany new adventures the worldholds for him. To say that I amproud is an understatement. Myheart beams with pride and joy forall of his accomplishments.

Do you have a dream thatyou’ve cast aside over the years?

It’s never too late. There isproof, Bill Mohr just achieved hisdream at the age of 105.

According to CBS Philly, BillMohr’s journey marked his 105thyear of life, traveled a winding

road. It was 1926, and a15-year-old uniformed Bill Mohrwas forced into a different reality.

“After my Sophomore year, mymother said ‘Bill, your father’splant is moving. We have to moveup there, for him to keep his job,’”said Mohr.

Bill had to get a job himself,the Prep was left behind. Workfilled his days, World War II filledhis mind, but Josie filled his heart.At 105, life markers come in bignumbers, Bill and Josie have beenmarried for 70 years.

No regrets, except one, he toldhis daughter, “I regret I was notable to finish my high schoolyears at St. Joe’s Prep.” “Hewanted to finish so badly,” saidhis daughter, Jodie Hartshorne.

Enter teacher Bill Conners andPrep’s president, who could onlysee one solution.

“We need to give him adiploma. Had Bill graduated withhis class, this would have been his85th reunion, so it is perfect,”Conners said.

“If I die tomorrow, I’m notgoing to ask the Lord for anything.He has given me everything I needover the years.”

Pull a Bill: don’t compareyourself to anyone else, and worktoward your goals at your ownpace. As long as you never give up,you will never fail.

With no money down,the Cash family was given 20 acresof fertile bottomland and afive-room house in which to live.The family home, which is nowowned by Arkansas StateUniversity, has been restored. Thehouse contains exhibits related tothe establishment of the colony,lifestyles of typical colonists, andthe impact that growing up inDyess had on Johnny.

Memorable Melody:‘Don’t Sit Under the

Apple Tree (WithAnyone Else But Me)’A pact made between

countless young soldiers andtheir sweethearts was summedup in this swing hit from WorldWar II. The song debuted in1939, but didn’t top the chartsuntil 1942. With its upbeattempo and “No, no, no” hook, itwas a feel-good morale boosterfor the time.

COF ANDNEIGHBORHOOD

DISCOVERIESSpanish Cuisine... Muy bien!Gazpacho...The ripest

tomatoes, olive oil, garlic, bread,peppers and cucumber areblended until smooth, thenchilled and poured into bowls orglasses. In southern Spain, peoplehave it every day in the summerand there is always a jug on thecounter in tapas bars.

Paella...Ingredients for paellaValenciana include chicken orrabbit, saffron, runner beans andbutter beans. But the all-important element is the rice,ideally the bomba or calasaparravarieties grown on Spain’seast coast.

Tortilla Española...Eggs,potatoes, onions... that’s it! Somepurists even consider that addingonion is a gastronomic crime. Thepotatoes and onions are slow friedin olive oil then mixed with thebeaten eggs for the flavors to mixbefore cooking. Add chorizo,ham, spinach, zucchini orwhatever you have in hand tomake a tasty meal out of nextto nothing.

Gambas al ajillo...In any tapasbar, the aroma of sizzling prawnshits you and you have to ordersome. To recreate it at home, justfry some sliced garlic and greenchili in olive oil, add prawns andparsley. Delicioso!

Tostas de tomate y jamón...

Black pigs roam among the Holmoak trees in western Spain insearch of the acorns that givemarbled magenta Ibérico ham itsnutty flavor. Rub thick pieces oftoast with garlic and tomato, pouron some olive oil and top withslices of jamón for a quick,delicious lunch.

Patatas bravas...all versions ofPatatas bravas involve chunks offried potato. Bravas sauce is madewith Spanish paprika, olive oil,flour and stock – but nevertomatoes.

Pollo al ajillo...Any Spaniardwill tell you that the best garlicchicken is abuela’s (grandma’s).Unpeeled cloves of garlic are friedin olive oil to flavor it, and thentaken out before adding pieces ofchicken. Then the garlic goes backin with some rosemary, thymeand some dry sherry or whitewine.

Cochinillo asado...This verytasty and tender dish is eitherroast suckling pig or lamb in hugewood-fired ovens.

Pisto...The Spanish version ofratatouille consists of onions,garlic, zucchini, peppers andtomatoes that are slow fried inolive oil.

Turrón...Spaniards devourmassive amounts of turrón, oralmond nougat, at Christmas. It’smade from locally-grownalmonds mixed with honey andegg white.
