The Whitehurst Diaries: Latest Chapter - Life & Times of Willis Hobbling Home: It is a month today since Willis went missing. 'We scold Willis and remind him of the trouble he has caused. We tell him that his recent escapade may have permanently impaired his agility, taken a few cat years off his life. We note when a damp morning chill seems to stiffen his hip joint; we see him carefully calculating a leap that until a month ago would have been smoothly automatic. Mostly we are relieved and happy to have Willis back home, nosing into our business, over-seeing our work, providing companionship, secure in his job as head cat and farm manager.' - SHARON WHITEHURST Click on headline for full facts on famed feline Willis the Cat's latest saga. By Sharon Whitehurst Hobbling Home It is a month today since Willis went missing. I was mildly surprised, but not concerned when Willis was not on the front doorstep when I came downstairs. I've sometimes wondered if he has an internal clock which has him waiting for me each morning, or if perhaps he hears my measured tread on the 14 stairs to the main floor and hurries from one of the blanket-lined 'beds' on the side porch to pose on the doormat, face up-tilted to the window in a beguiling reminder that he needs his breakfast served before any other concern can claim my attention.

Hunter Durham remembers Geniece Marcum Hunter Durham writes: What a lady. She was always greeting people and enjoying life. Her brother-in-law's mother, Mrs. Lillie Hughes, ran a restaurant as you came into Edmonton on KY 80 and the sign for the restaurant said something to the effect of "Eat with us if it kills you. We need the money." You can easily see where Geniece's daughter, Linda, got her skills, traits, and outgoing nature from being in a family which loved humor and story-telling. Mrs. Marcum will be missed. - Hunter DurhamAbout: Geniece Leftwich Marcum, Metcalfe Co. native, (1929-2017) 2017-03-05 03:46:07 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
