Delilah Has Piglet Fever

Delilah: Mother, grandmother, radio personality, artist, gardener, horse enthusiast, PIG MIDWIFE! Sister sows on my farm just gave birth to the most adorable little piggies. 14 in all!

Of all the things in life I imagined myself doing, cutting piggy umbilical cords and tying them off with string was NOT on my list. They are very small but are starting to squeal and run around!

So many of you have asked about my little piggies, so I thought I'd share my pictures with you. They are growing everyday and so cute.

Updated from January 15th show:

At this very moment, there are 27 million people in slavery around the world.  This is more than ANY other time in history.

Gettin' a Little Salty...

My Aunt Ida is a a retired nurse and she is always on the lookout for ways to improve health. 

Here is an article that she sent me regarding salt and since we still have a few days left for "Heart Month", I thought it was a good read.

Who knew we were getting more salt from bread than chips?  Apparently the CDC did.

Making the Howdy Rounds

WIKY's Newsroom has expanded.  Randy Wheeler has earned the most ellusive of all early morning broadcasting rewards - an alarm clock that goes off much later.  Listen for Randy with WIKY News coverage throughout middays on WIKY, including the big News at Noon.

We welcome Mark Evans to Evansville (could that be why we hired him?) and to the WIKY Morning Show.  Mark's a bit of a radio gypsy like Diane and me and came to the Tri-State by way of Birmingham, Alabama.  We decided it might be a good idea to show him around and experience some of our favorite th

Christian Grammy Nomnees

We've been talking about the Grammys on Joyful Noise this morning and I wanted to let you know all your favorite Christian artists that are nominated.

Why does my dog stare at me?

There are many days when I'm working at my computer, and my dog Bailey will sit and stare at me. Check out the pic:

It turns out that dogs stare at their owners on a regular basis.  I came across this article, written by a veterinarian.  Fascinating stuff:

It’s not hard to imagine why a loyal dog might stare devotedly at his master. It’s the stuff of Old Yeller, White Fang and Lassie –– starers, all.

Blowing Young Minds

 

We opened our email this morning to find a note from Autumn, a young lady from Evansville.  Here it is -

Things we can't live without

On the show this morning, we were talking about food or beverages that you look forward to having every day, and when you can't get them.....it puts you in a mood!

For DJB, every morning at 9, he goes down to the kitchen and gets his bottle of Diet Mt.
