The Adventures of Willis the Cat by: Sharon Whitehurst The advent of Willis the Cat came early in our first Kentucky summer--2010. Jim rode the 4-wheeler across the north field and seeing our neighbor Dale in his driveway, stopped for a moment to visit. A gangling, half-grown cat ambled across the road to sniff at the tires, rub against Jim's boots with a tentative purr. "T'ain't my cat!" stated Dale. "You'd better take him home with you before he gets run over." The tweedy-coated feline reached a hopeful paw to pat Jim's pants leg, mewed beseechingly. Jim, soft-hearted but skeptical, replied, "No cat would ride on a 4-wheeler." He did just that.

Carol Perkins: Thoughts on graduation Thoughts on High School at Graduation Time - tonight, May 29, 2014, at 7pmCT in Edmonton, KY: Some simply survived high school. Some played through high school. Some adored every minute of it and some hated to see the bus roll up to the door. The fact is that after the twelve years we all went through together, we left with different memory books. No one can say, however, that those years left us untouched. I choose to remember the good. What do you remember? - CAROL PERKINS The next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: Memorial Day, a reverent time Posted May 25, 2014. By Carol Perkins Although I don't watch Dr. Phil as often as I once did, one thing he has said many times is that we all have our defining moments. Whether good or bad, there are times that will cause us to pause and take note of a situation, and then log that situation into the part of the brain that stores facts, information, and emotions. I once made a list of my own defining moments. There were more than I thought. Many of them we all have in common, but most are particular to each. I want to focus on a defining moment we all share. The night we graduated (or should have graduated) from high school.
