THE TOAST

After Jeb's funeral, Mary Lee and her friends gathered at the Corner Tavern to drink a toast and reminisce. Doris asked a question. "Mary Lee, why in the world did you insist we attend the burial, too? We could have been here celebrating instead of standing out there in the cold and rain." "Oh, you... Sign in to see full entry.

UPDATE ON THE HELLISH HURRICANE SITUATION

My daughter's car has an internet connection feature, so she was able to plug in her phone and call me this morning from her mountain cabin in NC. Roads are impassible, trees and power lines are down, some roads and bridges are washouts, but she said they have ice to keep food cold, a gas-burning... Sign in to see full entry.

WEATHER

Just looked at the Zany Wayne story from two days ago & realized I didn't post yesterday. I'd like to tell you it was because I was partying on the porch with a bunch of escapees from the art fair at City Park this weekend. But it was nothing such fun. It was a day for watching the Weather Channel... Sign in to see full entry.

ZANY WAYNE – THE LAST CHAPTER

The Wayfarer’s Coffee Shop did a good business in Morton village. Lunchtime on Saturday was their most profitable. Weekday coffee klatches were mostly break-even on account of their free-refills policy, but it was worth it to keep the ladies and their hubbies coming back for the Friday fish fries...

40's Stylin'

You may not realize that the hand-held hair dryer is a fairly recent innovation. When I was in high school (1949-1953) there was no such thing. Girls (and their moms, too) who wanted to "do" their hair, washed it after the supper dishes were done, and toweled it to a state of dampness. Then it was... Sign in to see full entry.

Nancy, the positive, con'd

A few weeks passed and Nancy attracted the attention of Roscoe, a young rooster whose charm immediately won her over. After her eggs arrived, she sat on them to keep them warm until they hatched, leaving only briefly as hunger demanded. Her hatchlings were fluffy yellow fuzzballs, adorable as all...

NANCY, THE POSITIVE PULLET

Once upon a time there was a young pullet who was coming of age. Mother Penny hen told her she was now capable of feeding herself, keeping a watchful eye out for hawks, and soon would become a productive member of the flock, laying eggs and raising a little flock of her own. Nancy gave a big sigh of... Sign in to see full entry.

ABOUT LEV PARNAS AND DJT

I'm a Rachel Maddow fan. She does depth reporting, background and follow-up news on MSNBC. Recently her schedule changed from 5 nights a week to Mondays only, except for special stories - breaking news on the Trump saga, court appearances, etc. She's doing documentaries, she and her team do deep...

LAW & ORDER???

Breaking news last night - cops were investigating the murder of a judge in his own chambers - a shooting, in Kentucky. All kinds of possibilities came to mind - except what they reported later. The sheriff did it. What! Why? Was it personal? An accident? This world gets crazier every day. p.s. it... Sign in to see full entry.
