Feedback: Wants Julia ANN! to write a book

Re: Raising Julia Ann Pickett

To Julia ANN! Pickett Thompson, shared with CM readers:

Hey- that was good!! You are writing a book? If not you should. It was socute. You always had a great personality & sense of humor (and still do).

Would be nice to see these little towns put stores back into the townsinstead of moving out. Back when we were growing up it was so much more fun,and you stated that well.

Thanks.

Joyce Wilson

COF has encounter with man from Duluth

A great essay by The COF
From high above downtown Knifley or Knife-ly; either way, a beautiful, veritable paradise, located the center of the universe, the Eden of Planet Earth, District 6, Adair County, KY. (U.S. of A.)

This tale is a time in the telling. When you finish it I think you will understand why it took a while to go public!

Having some business on the square in Columbia, that quaint bedroom community of the Knifley metropolis, I mistakenly traveled without the confines and constraints of Miz Emily.

Having completed the task at hand, I decided to stop at Catfish Plus on the way home. As usual the place was crowded so I took my meal and headed to the picnic tables under the shade tree in back.
