Columns ...
Full Circle
This column is about starting over; the trails and the joys. It's about not cooking if I don't want to —
and about not having anybody to cook for. There is a difference and it's a double-edged sword. It's
about learning who I am, what I want ... and where I want to go. I suppose in time I'll know.
Farm Tales
This column is specifically geared to the rural community of the United States. It speaks a language
that rural readers understand and appreciate, and has been proven to be a welcome addition to any
publication that is distributed all or in part, to a rural audience.
After Thoughts
This column deals with general life issues and is predominantly humorous, although sometimes
thought-provoking and touching. It deals with observations, raising children, and true life
experiences.

I wouldn't steer you wrong ...
Having lived on and off a farm, and for more than a few years, I have known many
dogs in my lifetime. There were my dogs, dogs the kids brought home and dogs
that brought themselves home. Every one was unique and each one had
something special about them, so I have amassed quite a few tales that I am in
the process of putting together in book form. In the  mean time, here are a few
examples of dog tales from
"Dogs I have Known and Loved"

... give thanks to guitarist John Morgan for allowing me to use his instrumental guitar music for
some of my Youtube videos. Some how, some way, it seems that our two genres go together like
apple pie and vanilla ice cream, as you will see in videos such as "The Force" accompanied by
John's "Dance of the stars." Please visit Youtube and watch the videos ... also please visit John's
Web site at the link below his photo.
SPECIAL THANKS ...
A young family escapes certain
starvation in early 20th Century
dust bowl Kansas to migrate to
Florida. Appearing at first to be
a lush paradise, their new
home ultimately challenges the
transplants, and tests them
physically and emotionally in
ways that they could never
have anticipated.

"In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith
becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact
equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man
because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's
becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American. There can be no
divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also,
isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag ... we have room
for but one language here, and that is the English language ... and we have room for but
one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people."

~Theodore Roosevelt 1907~
There are Spanish-speaking U.S. citizens who may not speak English well, and if they’re
seeking help, for example, on some vital health care question, or a senior citizen who
emigrated here a long time ago and they’re trying to get their Social Security check, I
don’t want them to not be able to get those services. Every student should be learning
a second language, because when you start getting into a debate about bilingual
education, for example, now, I want to make sure that children who are coming out of
Spanish-speaking households had the opportunity to learn and are not falling behind.
