November 24, 1965 Jocie Brooke here reporting from Hollyhill, Kentucky where as usual NOTHING is happening. Well, the sun comes up in the morning and goes down at night if that counts.

Words “Words are only postage stamps delivering the object for you to unwrap.” ~George Bernard Shaw Since I let Wednesday slip away without posting last night, I’m writing this early on Thanksgiving morning.

As humans, I think we’re wired to need the sunshine. I know we need the rain and maybe if it was sunny all the time, …
The Kentucky Book Fair was yesterday. It’s a great event because a lot of readers show up to talk to the many writers (over 120 authors) and buy books.
