Poetry by Robert Stone: Days long past


Days long past

- a poem by Robert Stone
And I remember days long past
when never thought occurred to me
to ask how long the day should last;
but then it was that each small part
of day was an eternity
which spread itself throughout my heart
with such a peaceful gentleness
that one does hear or feel or see
it only in subconsciousness.
-Robert Stone, June 2, 1959

New Year's Day Good Luck Food: Bah Humbug

The OC and Winston partook of New Year's fare, but the ensuing events provided a reverse epiphany of sorts, and made skeptical, That day, The OC says. he lost his faith in the blackeyed peas and cabbage ritual meal on the first day of January.

By The Old Coddger

I have always paid a lot of attention to all superstitions and "old wives tales" and would always eat the cabbage and black-eyed peas on New Year's Day. Until, a few years ago when Winston Keltner and I went to Cane Valley and cut two loads of fire wood. We put the split wood on Winston's truck and the 75 to 80 pound butt blocks we loaded on a small trailer that I was pulling behind a small SUV.

A Christmas stocking for Tiger

I got this message from a friend in Texas a couple of days before Christmas. - Robert Stone
A couple of weeks ago, we got Tiger a Christmas stocking with lots of "dog things" in it... treats and toys.

He absolutely would not move. When I first put it down on the bar between the kitchen and the living room, he sat and stared at the bar.

When he was distracted by something else, I moved the stocking to the hall closet. The next thing we knew, he was sitting outside the closet door staring at the door.

(Our daughter, her husband and her youngest son were here and were getting a big charge out of this, as were we.)

So, someone distracted Tiger again and I moved the stocking to the top of the china cabinet in the dining room. It took him awhile, but soon he was sitting and staring at the top of the china cabinet.

We broke down and just gave it to him!!!

The thing was heavy plastic but he must have smelled something... and it was something he wanted.

I'm thinking kids and grandkids opening gifts won't be nearly as much fun as Tiger.

MERRY CHRISTMAS and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!Love,
-Sylvia

A Trace of Awe

I just finished a recent novel by Patricia Cornwell. The books is Trace, published last year and released this summer in mass market paperback -- that's the small size that will fit in a coat pocket or purse. They used to sell for fifty cents. Trace has a cover price of eight bucks -- a rate of inflation that puts the gas companies to shame.

A Kindred Spirit: A hamster (s) named Buddy

The next earlier column by Teresa Kindred: A Kindred Spirit: The Underwear Tree

By Teresa Bell Kindred
Nanahood.com


This week I cooked Christmas dinner for thirty people.

There were also four hamsters and three dogs (two are my grand-puppies) in attendance. To say it was a real zoo around here would not be far from the truth.

The hamsters belong to my nephew, Jackson. He couldn't bear to leave them home alone so they came with him. Their names are Buddy 1, Buddy 2, Buddy 3 and Buddy 4.
