I think the painting in the #6 posi...Interesting... I think the painting in the #6 position (based on a keypad) is of Truman Capote. At least it could be him. Capote wrote a couple of holiday short stories that I have read to 5th graders for the past 8 years. It started with my daughter's class, continued with my son's class, and the teacher, students, and I have enjoyed it enough to make it a "tradition". The stories, A Thanksgiving Visitor and A Christmas Memory, are set in rural Alabama in the early 1930's. If there is a writer that was more of a master of descriptive language than Capote, I don't know who it is. When you have finished these stories you have taken a bath in southern culture circa 1930's. Now I am a boy born and bred in the midwest, and there is a lot of the midwest I will never be able to get out of me (and don't want to get out of me), but my mother and her family are from Alabama. I've lived here for 30 years, and I have accepted and adopted much of the southern culture. Being a midwestern girl yourself and an admitted book lover, I am curious if you know of any writers (and their stories) which focus on what life was like in the midwest in the mid 20th century?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083377407545947633.post-15072815184804782972012-11-09T16:48:19.121-06:002012-11-09T16:48:19.121-06:00I've read quite a few of your blog posts, and ...I've read quite a few of your blog posts, and I have to say this one was one of my favorites. Did you know that all free-range chickens are not created equal? How else would a chicken live... well it turns out some "free-range" chickens prefer just to sit on the couch and eat bon-bons. As long as the door is open and the chicken has the freedom to get up and go out, it (I suppose we are talking about she's at this point) can be called "free-range". But the truth is that free-range chickens have been bred to the point where they really don't want to go out, they would rather just sit around (roost around doesn't sound right). Yeah, so while you grew up on a farm and didn't have a clue what Oliver Douglas was singing about ("Farm livin' is the life for me"), I grew up in the city in a tri-level on Mississippi Ave. About 10yrs ago I had what you would call a life-changing event... I went to the local feed store and bought a couple of cute Easter chicks for my kids. I didn't plan to keep them and already had a home lined up for them when they grew up. But just like any pet, you grow attached to it. And I discovered that a chicken is the best pet of all - it gives back to you in the form of eggs. Everyday is another egg. A little, warm bundle of goodness. Well, the rest is a long story... but I am currently chicken-less. It turns out hawks like free-range chickens too... A LOT!!! So I am waiting for the spring when I will get to pick out a few cute chicks, nurse them through a couple of months of cold nights, and then wait for the deliveries to begin.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083377407545947633.post-24633450473735684272012-09-30T20:57:51.665-05:002012-09-30T20:57:51.665-05:00While the food at the Whiskey Kitchen looks scrump...While the food at the Whiskey Kitchen looks scrumptious, I really like the poem by Pablo Neruda.<br /><br />:-)Chris Fenogliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14661916326754267546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7083377407545947633.post-12289678226949257142012-04-12T14:18:33.483-05:002012-04-12T14:18:33.483-05:00I like to think I'm not overreacting in how bu...I like to think I'm not overreacting in how bummed I am about this.
