Fact, fiction, or a hybrid, it is a good read.

Headless spirit of slave boy haunted Adair County

By James Hudson

Winter in Adair County's rolling farm land is dismal, bleak and cold. The nights are raw; the days gray, pale and often without sunlight. In the hills and hollows along Sulphur Creek winter is depressing and monotonous. Even the willows reflect the mood.

LETTER: New friend sends message on importance of keeping a journal

To tell you of the joys and the benefits of keeping a journal . . .
From Thelma Adams Asher
My one tie to Adair County is a recently acquired friendship, through correspondence, with Marilyn Loy Turner. We have exchanged a few letters and while discussing writing, she sent me net access to some articles of hers published by you. A native born Texan, I am nonetheless very familiar with Kentucky as my late husband was from Kentucky. We made many automobile trips there and I remember a highway seemingly carved out of limestone. I remember early June wildflowers so beautiful they took my breath away. I remember Lexington and Mary Todd's house.

I have been having some strong thoughts on journal keeping and how that makes for a certain fitness, and I thought you might be interested.
