April 2025
and after the warm spring day
it turned cooler, slightly frosty,
and a breath of spring could be felt
in the soft, cold air."
--Anton Chekov
We are hoping that April will have kinder weather since March
really "went out like a Lion" wreaking havock with tornadoes and fires
across the states. Our prayers are with those affected and with the
Responders who are coping with a multitude of problems.
Everyone, whether directly suffering, or offering aide, must
endure ongoing weather problems. Our authors haven't had time to process
the many dire situations, so the compositions published do not reflect
any phase of the difficulties.
On to our issue where Marilyn Carnell's "Sifoddling Along"
column tells why she chooses the items she defines as cherished when
furnishing her abode. Thomas F. O'Neill's column "Introspective" has
the interesting origins of our current month of April.
Mattie Lennon's column "Irish Eyes" focuses on two Irish
authors and their most recent publications. Pauline Evanosky's column
"Woo Woo" explains her "method" to experience feeling auras.
Judith Kroll's column "On Trek" expresses how ones thoughts
can improve ones wellbeing, or adversely deter it. Melinda Cohenour's column "Armchair Genealogy"
updates the recent findings and upcoming hearings in the Gilgo case that
has made investigative strides in new uses of DNA. "Cooking with Rod's
Family" presents a suggestion for your Easter menu Melinda Cohenour's
son mentioned after enjoying an entree at one of his daughter's home.
Walt Perryman's poems are "My Morning Thought on Hill
Country Water," "Sometimes You May Not Get What You Pray For," "A Love
Story," and "Morning Thought about Living Life." John I. Blair has three
poems: "Irises," "Comfortable with Myself," and "The Wild Swans of
Arlington."
Bud Lemire's poems are "A Beautiful Soul" and "What's
Bugging You?" Bruce Clifford's poems are "Today" and "Across The Sea."
Yours truly reprises "Our Wagon Train Rolls On."
Thank you, Mike, for keeping us shipshape and sailing along
into another year. I can't express how vital your knowledge is, or how
much you are appreciated.
