I have been enjoying reading all the comments you writers have been adding to the posts. Hard to pick and choose. I wonder does anyone else love their job as much as I do? Gail June 25, 2009 Editor's Choices There were 69 posts to choose from. Thanks for spreading the word to other writers and writing more yourselves. When you check a post from EDITORS CHOICE that is a good time to see if you have missed other good ones by that author. 20 posts from May has been added to Hall of Fame Out of 92 posts in May I could pick only 20.

Who is Gail Martin? Think you know her? Read on…you may be surprised to learn you really don’t. The obvious answer is that Gail is Scott Lupo’s assistant web master on Our Echo…and at the youthful age of 84, no less. But that doesn’t even begin to describe a woman who has written biographies of family members, entered essay contests, submitted articles for newspapers, and who has such a prolific writing career that she puts some well-known authors to shame.

OLD BLUE written by Frederick William Wickert “Oh, he’s all right,” the vet assured. “There isn’t anything wrong with that eye as far as vision goes. The pigment just didn’t distribute right. He can see out of it as good as the other eye. It won’t hurt him a bit.” He was a puppy from Spud and Ruby, our other two Beagles. Because of the all blue eye, we named him Blue. The trio lived together with their leader, a small female English setter, named Rugy. I constructed a 50 by 200 foot fence, complete with plenty of shade to keep them in, and a dog house inside a building which they could enter and depart whenever they chose. They refused to stay in it, constantly digging out under the fence. selct "more" to read the entire peice.
Well, now Mr. Mitchum, you 'splained' your Uncle Fossill right well...I think he is extremely proud that you write heaps of stories with him at the center. He sounds like somebody we all would enjoy having in our own families. I came across a Milton Berle quote today, and it's apropos for your Uncle Fossill stories: "Laughter is an instant vacation." If a vacation is something that takes one's mind off the humdrum of life or allows one to escape the daily grind, then the quotation fits here with your Uncle, 'cause we readers do a lotta *LOL* while reading "Fossillized" posts. You Want What? Hi John, This story is so amusing I'm grinning like a Cheshire cat as I type this comment. FUNNY! Sandi in FL. Forks in the Road Brian, your articles, though brief, pack a wallop...always. Love the Jim Eliot quote. How true it is. Praise God, the fork in the road of life which we've taken is the one toward eternal life. Keep giving us your succinct thoughts. Blessings ~ Susan Poole |
