At 914 N. Main St. in Stanley, you might find the prettiest furniture store you’ve ever visited. Clippard’s Furniture & Interiors definitely ranks high on my top-ten list, and I’ve been in a bunch of furniture stores in and out of North Carolina and even in other countries. Clippard’s is so attractive with its multiple groupings of sofas, chairs, tables, rugs, wall décor, lamps, knick-knacks, and so on, making it easy for shoppers to see how potential purchases will look.

On Oak Street, just a few blocks from downtown Lincolnton, a boy grew up in the early 2000s, loving music at a young age thanks to his dad, who enjoyed listening to his favorite tunes from the 1960s and 70s. Then, barely a teenager, the boy began watching MTV. That’s where he saw a music video of the American rock band Fall Out Boy performing its song “Sugar, We’re Going Down,” and the boy experienced an epiphany. He’d found his own kind of music.

When I made plans to visit Misfits Motorsports at 2393 East Main St. in Lincolnton, I thought I’d just talk to owner Jason Rhoney about himself and what the shop has to offer. I found a man with an extensive resume of experience and education and a high regard for motorcyclists, especially their commitment to one another’s safety and well-being and to society, in particular aiding those experiencing difficult times, including children.

With Lincoln County Historical Association board president Carole Howell as my guide, I thoroughly enjoyed a morning tour of the organization’s museum and research office at 403 East Main St. and the 1810 Doctors’ House and museum at 202 West Main St., both of which are in downtown Lincolnton. It was my first visit, and I did not come away disappointed. In truth, I left in awe of LCHA’s volunteers, including Carole and office manager Sara Sain.

His name is Rhett William Caudle. . . Rhett, like the dashing Rhett Butler of “Gone with the Wind.” Wearing his Valentine hearts-covered one-piece jumpsuit with red bowtie, it’s not a stretch of the imagination that seven-month-old Rhett Caudle will one day attract a throng of Scarlett O’Haras. Were it 1939 when the famous movie premiered, it’s unlikely baby Rhett would be alive. The same can be said about the little fellow’s mother, Crissy Caudle.

After Carole Howell, president of the Lincoln County Historical Association’s board of directors, told me that Madam Johnsie R.

We agreed to get together at the handsome Mauney Memorial Library in Kings Mountain. Visiting the stately home – turned library was a treat. Meeting Madam Johnsie was even more so.

Do you ever look outside on a particularly cold day -- maybe snow and ice covering the ground -- and wonder how the wild yard creatures manage to survive? I think many of us feel it important to provide food during those times if not all the time. As I’ve done numerous times in the past when I’ve had animal questions, I contacted Bruce Beerbower to find out how best to care for birds, squirrels, and other animals during the winter.
