TALES FROM THE CARIBBEAN

Written by John Stark
Friday, May 18 2012
Aura's plane landed at Miami International Airport where she called Enzo as it taxied towards her gate. Before she could retrieve her luggage Enzo was there and their reunion bordered on being a public spectacle. One elderly lady was heard to say, "Ain't love grand!" While another sighed, "There's no love like young love." Aura had tears of joy and relief in her eyes and Dave could hardly let go of her. The two lovers soon had Aura'a luggage in tow and they were on their way out the airport to ... Read more... Add new comment

NEWS FROM THE HILLS : TROUT SEASON

The waters of William's River still run swift and cold. It swirls around huge boulders, cresting white and foaming, as it rushes onward. The immense rocks that throng the river's banks and inhabit the river itself look as if they had been thrown with abandon by some giant hand. The river is still as compelling and fascinating as it was the first time I saw it.Although I am sure that I was taken there earlier, the first memory I have of camping here has been more than 70 years. Daddy had a Model ... Read more... Add new comment

AROUND THE FRAME: COLOR SPLASH CREATES DRAMATIC QUILTS

Written by Lois Eubank
Friday, May 18 2012
In April I journeyed to the Harlan United Methodist Church biennial quilt show where I attended a near standing-room-only lecture by Fran Foskey owner of Bobbin Bear Quilting Designs (www.bobbinbeardesigns.com/) on "Color Confidence". Fran's program on how she chooses fabrics to bring out the "WOW" factor in the quilts she designs is an absolute delight. She begins by teaching color basics-the differences between achromatic (no color) monochromatic (one color) and analogous (any four colors in ... Read more... Comments (2)

HOME COUNTRY: MARTIN

Written by Slim Randles
Friday, May 18 2012
You know, it isn't always easy being a crossing guard for the kids. It especially isn't easy when you're an old crossing guard, and Martin is old. One of these days we'll find out he discovered fire, I think. This isn't meant as a slight, because there are few people around here who don't treasure Martin for the many years he's spent ushering kids across the intersection at the school since he retired from the ranch work. It's just a fact, being old means extra work trying to keep up with trends ... Read more... Add new comment

Big Jesse's company plane landed and taxied to the re-fueling area. It was easy to tell his plane from the others because it was painted in the University of Kentucky's blue and white color scheme with 2012, NCAA Champions, boldly displayed on its fuselage. The captain greeted Jesse at the gate and they drove to Sanibel Island. The treasure was already transformed into cash and the money was divided and laying on the conference table. Jesse packed his share into a duffle bag and after exchanging ... Read more... Add new comment

NEWS FROM THE HILLS : FLOWERS

Written by Alyce Faye Bragg
Friday, May 04 2012
The nostalgic fragrance of lilacs drifts through the house, as the last sprays are salvaged and placed in a vase on the table. This old-fashioned flower brings back long-ago memories of Grandma in her long white apron and sunbonnet. She would break off sprigs of this purple flower, place them in a Mason jar of water, and put them on the kitchen table. She loved her "piney" roses (peonies) and the heritage rose that she called the "graveyard" rose with its sweet-smelling, fragile blossoms. She h ... Read more... Add new comment
