Sleep….as important to your health as diet and exercise?

You actually promise yourself that tonight will be different

It’s been a long day. You are more than ready to go to bed……and it’s only 3:00 pm!

You actually promise yourself that tonight will be different. You are going to get to bed early and get some sleep! Soooo, you get home from work and start tackling that ‘to-do’ list with a vengeance.  

Make dinner, run kids to/from practice, throw in a load of laundry, help your kids with homework, fold some laundry, do the dishes, exercise (hint, hint…even if it’s just a little;), shower and put the kids to bed.

Ada's ice house has interesting history

And, Ada Historical Society has the story
Posted by Fred Steiner on Thursday, May 3, 2018

Know where the Ice House Recycling is across the railroad tracks from Keith’s Hardware? It’s an old brick building in the rear with a new part added onto the front but has stood idle for decades. The weathered sign still says Ice House Recycling and Propane Fill Station.

The original building was put up by Storer Bros Co, which dealt in butter, eggs, and poultry from area farms. The company located along the railroad tracks so that the merchandise, kept cold with ice, could quickly be put on trains.
