If I had a horse by Laura Rodley

If I had a horse After my mother died, my father got us a pony, a black and white pony called Cochise. I believe he named this pony. He was a tiny pony, along the line of the wild ponies of Assateague in Virginia, where the Misty of Chincoteague stories were written. I only found this out later, and wondered if Cochise was a Chincoteague pony. All my father said, vague as he sometimes was, was that he was a shore pony for the right price. He only reached my father’s … [Read more...]

Cookies

07/24/2011 By Ellen Beals 2 Comments

One question that has gone to the back burner of my mind but is still simmering is:  Who left the cookies? On July 4 a paper plate of chocolate chip cookies wrapped in plastic was left between my front doors.  No one in the household could tell me who left them.  No one had seen a car back out of the drive or a neighbor scamper away. I wrote my number one suspect an email but she was downed by sciatica, unable to bake or scamper. The cookies sat on the table.  I ate at … [Read more...]

7/21 Event a Winner!

07/23/2011 By Ellen Beals

7/21 Event a Winner!

Our most recent event was a record-breaker in terms of attendance and sales! The BookMarket in The Glen Town Center has a gem of a performance space and it was packed.  Rick, the assistant manager and gracious host who made us feel welcome, put out 50 chairs and still there were people in the couches and chairs at the outer edges of the room. The readings began when Pat Rahmann, who is known for her plays and novels, gave us "Last Trip Together", a poem she told us, … [Read more...]
