Are those the magic fairy wands glistening on the trees or only winter icicles that I see? (Anonymous) Every day I take a break from writing and go walking with my two dogs, Frankie and Marley.

Dogs do speak, but only to those who know how to listen.– Orhan Pamuk And so we come to our last photo in our caption game. This one seemed to go fast. Maybe because I was really busy last week. Sometimes I think I’m too busy, but then I love what I’m doing. Well, most of the time. Walking the …

August 3, 1966 Jocie Brook here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky. Have you ever ridden on a motorcycle? For a long trip? Your legs can go to sleep and your hair blows around if you don’t put it in a ponytail. Sometimes a bug hits your arm. I love it. I never, never thought Dad would let me take a long …
