Are those the magic fairy wands glistening on the trees or only winter icicles that I see? (Anonymous) I took a break from trying to flesh out a new story idea yesterday and went walking. Walking is a good time for thinking. You see everything around you, but you don’t have to really think about how you’re moving your feet …
February 2, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky on Groundhog Day. Too bad the powers that be don’t think that’s a day we should get out of school. Sigh. But no, I had to get up before the sun, catch the school bus and spend most of the day sitting inside at a desk instead of hunting down …
Thanks to all of you who made my mystery picture contest so much fun. I enjoyed all your guesses. The right ones were good, but the wrong ones were fun. So just for fun here is a last mystery picture. This one isn’t for prizes. I didn’t use it because I really didn’t think it would be fair, but you …
On my last post, I finally found a mystery picture that was a real mystery to you all. A few of you came close but nobody figured out exactly what Sunday night’s mystery picture actually was. You did make some great guesses however. The stumper mystery photo Some of you were right there with my title last week saying …
January 26, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. It snowed on Saturday. The roads were too slick for us to have church at Mount Pleasant.

Here’s the new mystery picture. We’ll see if I can be a tad trickier this time than last time. I was trying to be tricky last time, but obviously I missed the mark on that. I had no idea that all of you were country girls like me who knew your wood. Here is the picture nearly all …
January 19, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. What does this picture make you think of? Mr. Brown, my social studies teacher at school, told us to look at this picture and write a paper on what freedom means to us. Not to the country or to somebody else, but to each of us as individuals. Mr. Brown …
Are you ready for a new mystery picture contest? Like to win a new book or two? Then you’ve come to the right place. Between now and the end of January, it’s time to guess the pictures. So what do you think it is? Make a guess and on February 1, I’ll draw for three winners from those of you …
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary. (Edgar Allen Poe) Can’t you imagine Poe writing that on a January Monday midnight?Chilled to the bone and unhappy, but with pen in hand? I hope you’re not cold or unhappy. But let me ask you. Do you like winter? Do you like January? Or is it the month …
