This summer I am trying to take advantage of some down time to declutter my own house. After having a discussion with my husband this weekend, we have decided our cookbook collection needs some serious purging.  Now don’t get me wrong, I love my cookbook collection as much as the next gal but my husband and I realized that we rarely ever refer to them anymore.

If we want a new recipe, we run the computer and browse AllRecipes.com or Food Network. If it’s a tried and true recipe that we love, it’s in my recipe card box.  There was a time when my husband loved to plan a holiday meal (yes, he really loves to cook but rarely has the time) with a stack of Southern Living cookbooks at his side, but that doesn’t happen anymore. He’s more likely to Google than browse.

Lightning from Sunday's storms set a house on fire in north Bibb County, according to Captain Shane Edwards with the Macon-Bibb Fire Department.

The house is located at 422 Waverly Place.

Edwards says the fire started on the roof around 8:30 p.m. Sunday. He says the fire caused moderate damage to the house. Edwards says the home was occupied but no one was injured.

Edwards say it took crews about 45 minutes to get the fire under control. 

Georgia Power says that about 85 customers around Macon are still without power after storms passed through Central Georgia Sunday night.

Lynn Wallace with Georgia Power says crews are working to restore the power. She says they hope to have it back on for all customers later Monday.

Macon Police say they are working to clear two trees knocked down by the storms.

Dispatchers say one tree is down at Hillcrest Avenue and Hillcrest Road and the other is at College Drive and Plant Street.
