Mexia residents can cancel their plans for the coast, city manager Eric Garretty said with a chuckle. After supply chain and weather delays slowed construction, the Hughes City Park Splash Pad was officially opened Friday, May 6.
Two Mexia Independent School District school board members were re-elected for three-year terms in the May 7 election.
Dear Heloise: When I am standing outside in the sunshine, I look at my shadow to see if I am standing up straight. Thank you. -- Mary H., Arlington, Virginia
Dear Heloise: When I bring a head of lettuce home from the store, I wash it, tear it into bitesize pieces and pack it in a glass fruit jar. Then I put a lid on the jar and put it in the refrigerator upside down. It is ready to use, and it will keep without turning brown for up to a week. It takes two quart jars for a head, or if you pack a salad for lunch, put in smaller jars and just grab one each day for lunch. We seldom throw out brown lettuce anymore. -- Judy H., in Nebraska
Dear Heloise: I wear eyeglasses with progressive lenses that are fitted precisely, and unless they stay firmly in place, they can cause double vision. I realized that they tend to slip toward the end of the day, when there’s a buildup of oil on the skin. A little soap on the bridge of my nose and the top of my ears (and sometimes on the nosepiece and earpieces of the glasses) restores the firm fit. -- J.W., New York City
