A couple who held hands at breakfast every morning even after 70 years of marriage have died 15 hours apart.
Helen Felumlee, of Nashport, died at 92 on April 12. Her husband, 91-year-old Kenneth Felumlee, died the next morning.
The couple’s eight children say the two had been inseparable since meeting as teenagers, once sharing the bottom of a bunk bed on a ferry rather than sleeping one night apart.

They remained deeply in love until the very end, even eating breakfast together while holding hands, said their daughter, Linda Cody.
According to Cody, about 12 hours after Helen died, Kenneth looked at his children and said, “Mom’s dead.” He quickly began to fade and was surrounded by 24 of his closest family members and friends when he died the next morning.
The pair had known each other for several years when they eloped in Newport, Rhode Island. At two days shy of his 21st birthday, Kenneth was too young to marry in Ohio. He could not wait.

一對每天手牽手吃早餐的夫妻,在結縭七十年後相隔十五小時離世。
納許波特的海倫.費倫李在四月十二日以高齡九十二歲辭世。她的丈夫,九十一歲的肯尼斯.費倫李,在隔天早上也走了。
這對夫妻的八個孩子說,兩人從青少年時期相遇後就分不開了,他們曾擠在渡輪船艙雙層臥鋪的下層睡在一起,而不願意分開睡。
他們直到人生的盡頭都很恩愛,即使吃早餐時也手牽手,他們的女兒琳達.柯蒂說。
柯蒂說,海倫走後約十二小時,肯尼斯看著孩子們說「媽咪死了」。他很快地開始變得衰弱,隔天早上在二十四個他最親近的家人和友人圍繞下走了。
這對夫妻在私奔羅德島州新港前就已認識多年。當時的肯尼斯差兩天才滿二十一歲,在俄亥俄州還不能結婚。但他等不及了。

Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be
Drive-through (or drive-thru) restaurants provide people with the immense convenience of being able to purchase and pick up meals without needing to leave their vehicles. These restaurants have been around for decades, and their success has spawned a number of equally handy services. The drive-through concept originated with the drive-in restaurant, the first of which was established in the US in 1921. Patrons would order and eat the food that was delivered to their cars by workers called “carhops.” Ten years later, a drive-through service was introduced, but it was not until 1947 that the first exclusively drive-through restaurant opened its
It’s no secret that Japanese people have a deep affection for noodles. Like in the rest of East Asia, noodles are an important staple food, second only to rice.

As time passed, noodles in Japan not only became widespread but also developed some unique Japanese characteristics. The three most popular types of noodles in Japan are ramen, soba, and udon. Ramen, typically made from wheat flour, is usually thin and firm. The dough is kneaded and left to
On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
