I’ve been having so much fun reading through all the entries in my newsletter giveaway. If you got the newsletter, any email in answer to it got you an entry, but for fun I asked people to come up with things to add to my Parting Shots of ways that might prove you are a country girl. And boy, …
Spring means grass growing and flowers blooming as winter backs away to await its turn in December. Many say spring is their favorite season of the year because of the way our natural world shakes off the gray of winter and breaks out in color. Since I’m someone who likes walking out on my farm in all seasons and that …
Do you like to go walking to see what you may see? I’ve loved to go walking ever since I was a kid. I had a special little woods that I claimed as my very own after I was old enough to go exploring on our farm by myself. I took mental pictures of the trees and the path down …
All the good ideas I ever had came to me while I was milking a cow. (Grant Wood) I’ve been inviting readers – that’s you – to not be shy and ask me some questions. About writing. About my books. About things down here on the farm. Anything you might want to know. I don’t promise to have an answer, …
March 6, 1966 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. Well, maybe it would be better to say Holly County, Kentucky. We don’t have cows on Main Street, Hollyhill. At least not often.

“All the good ideas I ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.” Grant Wood. No, I’m not that much of a country girl. Never learned how to milk cows. I did try once, but being the youngest girl, I guess nobody thought it important enough to teach me the proper method of tugging on the cow’s …
What I miss today more than anything else – I don’t go to church as much anymore – but that old-time religion, that old singing, that old praying which I love so much. That is the great strength of my being, of my writing.~ Ernest Gaines I got to eat breakfast with writer friends Lonnie and Roberta Simpson …
You can take the girl out of the country, but you can’t take the country out of the girl!!Okay, here I am trying on my fancy smancy dress before taking off for the ACFW Conference last week. My necklace is glittering. I’m practicing my smile – squinting a bit since my husband insisted I had to look into the sun. …
