In the excessive heat of our summer thus far, staying indoors
with a great book to read while the refrigerated Air Conditioner hums a
tune in the background is the wisest course of action. Your editor has
been adopting such a lifestyle in spite of ordinarily preferrring warm
weather to cold wintry blasts of winter. While some escape via various
vacationing sites, one is sometimes better off at home.
Preparing a pencilstubs issue is always a revelation. The
serendipitous submissions are intriguing and this month has a few. Bud
Lemire sent a poem titled "Tme Capsule," while Walt Perryman's "Time" is
(Gotta say it) timely. You're certain to discover a few more as you
read.
Both poets show two more of their poems: Lemire with "Ernie's
Party Store" and "People;" Perryman with "Check-off List" and "A Few
Mysteries and Secrets of My Exciting Life." John Blair also sent a
triple set titled "Dawn Watcher," "Urban Coyote," and "Anole on The
Driveway."
Bruce Clifford, who likes doing song lyrics, penned "The
Meaning Of Us" and "Covid20." Dayvid Bruce Clarkson who does the column
"Reflections of The Day," also does beautiful artistic presentations as
according to him, "...when Spirit moves me." Therefore we're showing
"The Journey" as he presented it along with our transcription of the
verses.
"A Mother's Lessons" by Danielle Cote Serar shares personal
thoughts on the "Intricasies of Infertility." "On Trek" by Judith
Kroll offers a free "Healing" tutorial in her column and tells of her
way of becoming friends with others. "Reflections of the Day" by Dayvid
Bruce Clarkson, discusses how language teaches childen not only item
identification but personal attitudes from the teacher that can last
forever. Thomas O'Neill uses his column "Introspective" to tell us he
will be teaching in a new locale in China, and why.
"Sifoddling Along," by Marilyn Carnell talks about Ozark
Families, then and now. "Woo Woo," by Pauline Evanosky, inspires one to
focus on nudges from spirit.
"Cooking with Rod”features "Ma New Orleans Tortellini this
issue. Mattie Lennon, author of "Irish Eyes," features a rather
unpopular action touted by Professor Charles Spense, and talks about the
Sam MaGuire Cup finals at Kerry.
The "Armchair Genealogy" column, by Melinda Cohenour who
planned to have some up to date genealogy status reports from her
daughter who had just been given an assignment where her column titled
"My Old Kentucky Home" is located. Then the flooding began and tragic
news is all her daughter has access to currently. The historical origins
of family are largely in Kentucky and surrounding states.
Michael John Fierro discloses the numerological aspects
pending for the United States of America with the July 4, 2022 Birthday
as it is a 17/8 Personal Year. Fierro formerly shared columns in our
eZine explaining how numerology works and why it is a useful tool for
each of us. The 30 columns are accessible by clicking his byline.
Bud Lemire's continued tale '2061' presents Part 6 (the Final Part) for our readers. Enjoy!

Look for us in September.
