Huckleberry Hounds
What a hoot! No doubt that was a sleep over those gals still talk about. Great job, Kathe. Kathy Baker
A Special Sibling
Hi Kathy, That "baby brother" became a grandfather a couple weeks ago. Made me feel a bit ancient! As for sisters, remember that I did get two adopted sisters late in life, our dear Kathe C and Maria Harden. I'm sure you read my story "Wish Upon A Star" which told how that came about. Nancy
What Shakespeare May Have Missed
It only takes a few good people interested in writing to start a club. It is the combined interest in writing that makes a success of a writing club. So call a writing friend and get started. Wishing you the best, Gail
De Garden Spot
Sounds beautiful. I could wish for a photo to accompany your poem. Thanks for sharing, Margie. I worked on just such an ugly spot for the past 3 days. It's small, between a handicapped parking sign and a lamp post--making it impossible to mow. Flowers look nicer there than tall grass. Thanks for sharing. Janet
My Mother
Life is so full-circle. You have written a beautiful story about life, love, relationships--filled with hope, loss, disappointments, and not giving up in spite of circumstances. This is so tender and sensitive yet an honest revelation of eventual decline if we should be blessed to live that long. I appreciate your caring, loving way of sharing such a delicate story. Janet
The Silent Sounds of Feelings
Congratulations on making the Editor's Choice list. Well done. I've commented before, but just a note of congrats. Very nice poem.
MEOWING JUSTICE
I would prefer they had gotten her a warm fuzzy cat to keep her company. Perhaps the love she received from it would change her opinion of cats and kids. It's difficult to understand why some neighbors are just a delight while others are the exact opposite. Makes me wonder if they decide, upon rising, "Today, I'm going to be a nasty creature." I have a friend who told me once, "No one wants to keep company with sour, negative people. Everyone wants to be around happy, encouraginge folks. Which do you want to be?" The answer was obvious to me, but perhaps not so obvous to some. Thanks for sharing. If you could get outside ourselves and observe our responses to what life throws at us, we might make some changes to better our life and the lives of those around us. Janet
