Yakoke fehna hoke for this Sunday morning in Dixon with Ike, Jerry Dale, Priscilla, Midge and the new people to meet and know. You always paint a vibrant colorful mosaic of life in Dixon with your words dancing off the pages and onto the streets of Dixon with Midge following. Experiencing the kindness, the love of family and community. And you can learn a thing or two quail hunting on the Llano Estacado. Yakoke cousin sister writer storyteller
I loved this, Lucinda. A tale of small town life, complete with angels and demons. What always amazes me is that small town demons are so unaware that every single thing they do will come under scrutiny and their deeds will be exposed. Thank goodness. And on the opposite side of the coin (is it a silver dollar?) Sam kept his generous heart to himself. How fitting a library would be made in his honor. Loved it all.
Thank you, Jeanine. You would know about the books and the power and magic of them. So correct about deeds being exposed. The expose can happen in stages, too ripples on the water that just spread and spread.
That is so true, Lucinda, how in a small town, sometimes things start as a whisper and become a bellow. And yes, the magic of books. I loved character of Sam. And forgot to mention how for children growing up in the country so often see so very early the realities of life and death. All the boys in my class, right out of elementary grades, went hunting with their dad's first day of hunting season. And first day of hunting school was closed where I lived growing up!
Always a real pleasure to spend time with the good folk of Dixon! Thanks so much.
