July 2021
Apricots and gillyflowers.”
– Sara Coleridge.
June now gone--welcome July. To say July is greeted with high
hopes doesn't truly express the anticipation shared by so many. Here in
America we will celebrate again our Independence Day on the Fourth of
July. But around the world, others hail this month as the first step
forward in the second half of the year--a new begining to make 2021
special in some way that will form cherished memories.
Our authors sharing experiences in their columns for this
issue include Mattie Lennon (Irish Eyes) who introduces us to a new book
and discusses the author. Marilyn Carnell (Sifoddling Along) recalls
some creative expressions you might never have heard. Thomas O'Neill
(Introspective) speaks about Quantum Physics and how the subject impacts
our lives.
Rod Cohenour (Cooking with Rod) entices our palates with his
version of stew -- Pork Stew Rodrigo. Melinda Cohenour (Armchair
Genealogy) gives an informative tutorial on using a new tool in
Ancestry's website to identify from DNA tests your personal matches on
other trees. This is a step by step guideline exploring the info
Ancestry offers. Mike Craner expresses his thoughts on military service
and how some led to our freedom to celebrate Independence Day, in his
aptly named column "Mike Craner Ramblings."
John I. Blair (View from My Back Yard) talks about the
wrenching changes within his "View. . ." and adds details. Pauline
Evanosky (Woo Woo) divulges conversations with former celebrities.
Judith Kroll (On Trek) urges us to recognize "Collateral Damage" present
in our personal actions, with an interesting explanation. She is also
the author of Chapter One of the story "The Elderly Gent," with more
chapters to follow in future months.
Bud Lemire's poems for July are "Roger, My Friend," "It's
Okay to Be Sick," and "A New Hope." Walt Perryman, who does 'Cowboy
Poetry' at Luckenbach, sent these poems "A Brand New Day," "Cyber
Space," and "On My Mind." First time to have a poem by A. W. Renarcy,
"Boot Prints."
John I. Blair submitted "Plum Tree" for July, and yours truly
also showed one poem, "One Finds Oneself." Bruce Clifford, added these
two song lyrics "Why is The Sea so Blue" and "I'm So Unsure."
Mike Craner, who keeps this eZine functioning with his
ingenuity and consideration, is also a dear friend. He and wife Susie
have brightened my life more than words can tell. Thanks, Mike!
