Spotlight: Words By Sharon Brown on October 3, 2016 (This quote is the next on Sharon's list of weekly quotes. She did not get to post it before she passed away on Sunday, October 2, 2016, so I am posting it for her. - Nancy) |
|
Dear Sharon.... By Nancy Polanski on October 3, 2016 Dear Sharon, I just heard the news about you. You left this world yesterday and I didn't have a chance to say goodbye. I am sorry for that, but I am comforted to know that your passing was rather sudden so that you had little or no pain. I'm also comforted to know that before you left, you shared a positive thought with our friend Vic. You texted her that "God's got this." Indeed, He does. You know, you are the mainstay of Cubits. Week after week, your cubit has been the most read, or at least in the top three. When there was good news to share, your chat thread carried it to the world. When anyone had a problem, they turned to you. You always had a listening ear and wise advice. We all respected you and valued your opinion. How is it that you made every one of us feeling like we were your best friend? What a special talent you had for making and keeping friends. I really don't know what will happen next. Will the Blue Gardens cubit remain? Will your weekly quotes continue? We can all try to keep things going, but for such a little lady you had some pretty big shoes to fill. It just won't be the same around here without you, sweetie. I love you. Now would be a good time to re-post your Spotlight interview. I think we'd all like the chance to spend a few minutes feeling close to you today. So here it is. I'll see you again someday, dear friend. Love, Nancy |

Remembering Polly: Spotlight: Polly Kinsman (Pollyk) By Sharon Brown on April 23, 2015 *** We lost a beautiful friend this week, we knew her as PollyK. She left us with lovely memories and beautiful images of plants she loved most. If you ever had a question about Irises or Lilies, she was the one to ask. I thought it would be appropriate if we published her Spotlight article again. *** Getting to know new people is fun and exciting. Getting one of your best friends to be in the Spotlight is somewhat interesting. Not that there was any bribery involved, but she knew very well I could have told her story without her help. But that's my friend Polly, low key, cordial, very helpful, and very, very knowledgeable. I want you to get to know her, too, because she is the one to go to if you want to learn more about Irises and Lilies. Let's meet Polly Kinsman . . . |

Spotlight: Cherie Coogan (cececoogan) By Nancy Polanski on August 20, 2013 (We lost a very good friend today, August 20, 2013. Two years ago we published this article, an interview with Cherie. We knew her as Cece and she charmed us all with her humor, her gardens, and her down-to-earth but uplifting attitude. I thought it appropriate that we read her words again, just as Nap presented them to us those years ago. Rest in Peace, Cece, you always left us with a smile and we will long remember you. ~ Sharon) From Nap in 2011: When I wrote requesting an interview with her, Cece told me, "I just never saw my life as ever being anything but ordinary. What's the word I want .... Mundane." She took just a little coaxing before I convinced her she would make a good interview. Ladies and gentlemen, please meet Cherie Coogan.... |

|
Spotlight: Till we meet again . . . By Sharon Brown on February 20, 2012 Change is inevitable, whether we like it or not. Sometimes it's good to step back, take a look, see where we've been and where we're going. We think it's time to do that now. |
|
Spotlight: Debbie Corrington (rcn48) By Nancy Polanski on February 13, 2012 Meet someone who calls herself a "Learnaholic." That sounds like someone who is addicted to learning new things, and Debbie has an impressive track record. She and her husband own a successful Nursery, she is an avid gardener and an accomplished crafter. Please meet Debbie Corrington. |
|
Roving Reporter: Valentine's Day By Sharon Brown on February 6, 2012 Valentine's Day has an interesting history but nobody seems to know when or where the love angle originated. It really doesn't matter, does it? It reminds us of Love anyway, and that's what's truly important, being reminded of Love. |
|
Roving Reporter: What Will The New Year Bring? By Nancy Polanski on January 30, 2012 It's January 2012. A fresh new year begins. I've asked some of our members to consider what that means to them. "What do you think will be different for you this year, as compared to 2011? Will this year bring changes in your life?" |
|
Spotlight: Holly Sanders (HollyAnnS) By Nancy Polanski on January 23, 2012 This week I have asked HollyAnnS to be my interviewed guest. She is a loving mom and grandmother with a fascinating hobby. I've seen photos of her scuba diving trips and they are beautiful. Please join me in welcoming Holly to the Spotlight. |
|
Spotlight: Vicki (Ves) and Ty By Brenda Essig on January 16, 2012 I am delighted to introduce two very special personalities who share their lives with obvious love for each other. It is the love many of us share with the pets that become very special members of our families as they weave their magic into our lives. This week I put the Spotlight on Vicki and her special family member, Ty. |
|
Roving Reporter: Most Memorable Vacation By Nancy Polanski on January 9, 2012 January is the time many of us are thinking about getting away to some exotic, tropical vacation spot for a little rest and relaxation. Would you like to hear about some of our Cubits members' most memorable vacations? Please, follow me.... |
|
Spotlight: Marsha (MyFrontYard) By Brenda Essig on January 2, 2012 If you haven't met Marsha you have been missing out! She is quite an avid gardener and enjoys life, both at home and on the back of a Harley Davidson. I'll let her tell you all about herself as I put her into this week's Who's Who Spotlight. |
|
Spotlight: It's the little things By Sharon Brown on December 24, 2011 Wishing you the love found in little things . . . |
|
Spotlight: Don Galaway (dgal) By Nancy Polanski on December 19, 2011 This week, you will be enchanted by our Spotlight guest. He's famous the world over and is loved by everyone. He is magical, he's always jolly, and his favorite thing to do is to make children happy. It's Santa Claus. And he sometimes goes by the name of Don Galaway. |
|
Spotlight: Christine (Firefly) By Nancy Polanski on December 12, 2011 Christine is wild about Nature (pun intended). She and her husband have planted roots in Michigan's Lower Peninsula, where they take full advantage of all that Mother Nature has to offer. Check out her photos.... |
|
Spotlight: Carol (yardqueen1948) By Brenda Essig on December 5, 2011 I have had the great pleasure of getting to know another cubit member better through the interview process. I hope that you will enjoy her story as much as I have. I asked Carol to start by giving me a little bit of background, and we took off from there. |
|
Spotlight: Joseph By Nancy Polanski on November 28, 2011 This week you will meet Joseph, who is intelligent, funny and leads a most interesting and unique life as a Utah farmer. He knows a lot about seeds, and loves to share them with folks. Say hello to Joseph.... |
|
Spotlight: Moby By Sharon Brown on November 21, 2011 I'd like you to meet a good friend. She might just be the happiest person I know. She's one of those people who freely spreads her happiness around and leaves us with a smile. There are some people like that; Moby is one of them. |
|
Roving Reporter: High School Reunions By Brenda Essig on November 14, 2011 Have you attended any of your school's class reunions? If yes, did you enjoy it? If no, feel free to say why not! |
|
Spotlight: Mickey Oswald (meickle2003) By Brenda Essig on October 31, 2011 This week I am delighted to bring into the Spotlight a lady whose friendly and outgoing nature shines through in her posts in the forums. Interviewing Mickey was a treat. I found her to be everything I had expected her to be and so much more. |
|
Spotlight: Celia Santiago (Zencat) By Nancy Polanski on October 24, 2011 Celia has a lot to be happy about. She has an interesting career, a handsome, loving husband, a beautiful grandbaby, a spacious garden...and cats! I'm so pleased to introduce you today to Zencat. |
|
Spotlight: Wendy (woodwife) By Brenda Essig on October 17, 2011 The name of her cubit was so enchanting that I was drawn to it. What I found there was surprising. "The Cottage In The Thicket" is a site for Pagans. Here? Then my brain clicked out the answer... That is what Cubits was designed for ...diversity...where a site's owner could present their interests in a safe and controlled environment. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to know about this site and the woman behind it. Here is her response in her own, very well expressed words. |
|
Spotlight: Sandy Coffman (Wren) By Nancy Polanski on October 10, 2011 Wren is someone who has been a presence in Cubits since the beginning. We've seen her posts on other websites as well. Yet, I have never really chatted with her in depth, so I decided it was time to get to know her better. |
|
Spotlight: Sarge Yates (RetSgt) By Brenda Essig on October 3, 2011 It is my honor and privilege to present this weeks Spotlight subject. This is a man who has faced many rough times in his life, yet manages to retain his faith and the courage to overcome all obstacles to providing for his family. He also has a passion to share his knowledge of the survival skills that can save lives. Please join me as we get to know Sarge. |
|
Spotlight: Sharon Brown (Sharon) By Nancy Polanski on September 26, 2011 Although the following article is published under my name, it was written for you totally by Sharon. With my apologies to all of our previous guests, I think it's the best article the Who's Who Spotlight cubit has presented so far. Sharon, my friend, welcome to the Spotlight! |
|
Spotlight: Jo Miklovic (Roadrunner) By Nancy Polanski on September 19, 2011 "Delightful" isn't a word I use very often, but that's what came to mind after reading the material Jo sent me for this week's article! That avatar she uses, the roadrunner, is the perfect one for her. It accurately defines her lifestyle. On the go. Busy. Fast paced. I'll bet she even has that same silly grin! |
|
Spotlight: Hart By Sharon Brown on September 12, 2011 I've always loved writers, maybe because I enjoy reading so much. I wanted to be Carolyn Keene when I was about 7 or 8 and discovered Nancy Drew. Every time I read a new author even now, I have a need to know everything about him or her. When I met Hart some time ago, I had a golden opportunity. |
|
Spotlight: Deanna Vensland (Sashagirl) By Nancy Polanski on September 5, 2011 The person you're going to read about this week is bound to become an instant "old friend." We have crossed paths a few times here on Cubits, mostly in the Jigsaw Puzzle forum, and I always thought I'd like to get to know her better. I know you will like her to. She goes by the name Sashagirl. |
|
Spotlight: Mindy03 (Margaret Tucker) By Sharon Brown on August 29, 2011 Sometimes we meet people who remind us of our childhood, so it was with Margaret. She asked me to edit an article she'd written about beekeeping. I found myself transported right back to my grandfather's mountain where he kept bees many years ago. I wanted to know more about Margaret, I think you'll enjoy knowing her, too. |
|
Roving Reporter: Childhood Memories By Nancy Polanski on August 22, 2011 If you ask me, today's youth don't have a clue about having fun. Previous generations made the most out of simple pleasures. We enjoyed family get-togethers, playing dress-up, homemade games, running through fields, etc. Our members share their own memories today. |
|
Roving Reporter: First Cars By Sharon Brown on August 14, 2011 We asked this question: "Tell us all about the first car you ever owned." I didn't realize the answers would bring with them memories, but I should have known. It brought memories for me, too. |
|
Roving Reporter: Random Acts of Kindness By Nancy Polanski on August 8, 2011 What is the kindest thing anyone ever did for you? Perhaps you were the recipient of a Random Act of Kindness. Maybe you got help from someone when you needed it the most. Did someone go above and beyond what you might have expected, either for you or for your family? |
|
Roving Reporter: Funniest Thing That Happened (part 2) By Nancy Polanski on August 1, 2011 The last Roving Reporter Spotlight, “What's the Funniest Thing You Ever Saw, Or Did, Or Had Happen To You?” was a big hit with our readers, and several of you asked for more! So today you'll find all new responses to that question, from a number of different members. You'll want to check it out! |
|
Spotlight: Angie Graeber (Hemophobic) By Sharon Brown on July 25, 2011 We've known her for a long time for the roses and daylilies that she's shared with us. Some of us have also known of her incredibly huge heart. But there's something about Angie you might not yet know; I've finally talked her into sharing with us. |
|
Roving Reporter: Funniest Thing That Happened By Nancy Polanski on July 18, 2011 Today I have no Spotlight interview, so it's time for another Roving Reporter article. I approached a number of you with the question...”What is the funniest thing that ever happened to you? Or the funniest thing you ever saw, or did?” I hope these answers will make you smile. |
|
Special Spotlight: All Things Plants By Sharon Brown on July 11, 2011 It's exciting to share with you a new adventure and that's exactly what this Special Spotlight is all about. Join me as we take a giant step into gardening. |
|
Spotlight: Brenda Savage (bsavage) By Sharon Brown on July 4, 2011 Sometimes people just make us smile, you know? It might be a word or a glance or the sight of a smiling face. Brenda makes me smile for all of those reasons, but it's also because of her most joyful attitude. Join me as we get to know one of my new friends, Brenda Savage. |
|
Spotlight: Kim Cartwright (Duckmother) By Nancy Polanski on June 27, 2011 One of our most delightful members is a lady who calls herself “duckmother.” She knows more about ducks of all kinds than anyone I know. She's raised quite a few and has some fascinating stories to tell. I just know you're going to love reading this Spotlight interview! |
|
Spotlight: Sunfarm (Sally Ramsdell) By Sharon Brown on June 20, 2011 Sally, or Sunfarm as we know her here on Cubits, is one of my Kentucky friends. She lives nearer to my mountain hometown than I do and sometimes I have to look at her pictures just to get a glimpse of my beloved hills. Uplifting, you bet! And it's even more uplifting to know Sally. |
|
Spotlight: Chris (Ladygardener1) By Nancy Polanski on June 13, 2011 In the Spotlight today is Chris, from the scenic State of Pennsylvania, which is on the Great Lakes and which just happens to be the subject of the cubit she owns. I'm delighted to have had this opportunity to chat with her. Join us please. |
|
Roving Reporters: What Makes You Happiest? By Sharon Brown on June 6, 2011 Well, folks, it's another one of those nights when our usual spotlight article has to take a little detour. You know how it is in summer, gardens and vacations and guests are calling us away from our computers. Nancy had a wonderful idea, a unique way to fill our Spotlight on days when our friends might be too busy. So tonight I took a little trip around Cubit land, and this is what I learned... |
|
Spotlight: Mike Stewart (Mike) By Nancy Polanski on May 30, 2011 As you read our Spotlight interview today, you will be moved by the beauty of Mike's gardens, and the quality of his nature photography. Don't let the expression on his face fool you! He earned that Tiara for his DIY garden project. He'll tell you all about it, as well as his passion for banjo playing and his other interesting hobbies. Come and meet Mike. |
|
Spotlight: LariAnn By Sharon Brown on May 23, 2011 I have a very good friend who is a botanist, a scientist, an artist and a writer. I'm sure if I delved deeper I would find even more talents. Did you ever have a dream about something that didn't exist; an elephant with stripes and a short stubby nose or a kitty who barks like a dog? My friend has dreams like this about plants, then sets about turning those dream plants into realities. Let's go to Florida and meet LariAnn. |
|
Spotlight: Christine Gaither (Wildflowers) By Nancy Polanski on May 16, 2011 Our Spotlight guest this week goes by the name Wildflowers. In her words, I sense sweetness and a joy in simple pleasures. In her eyes and her smile I see a healthy sense of humor. And woven through her life are threads of sadness, which have produced an inner strength and an attitude of gratitude. I think you'll like meeting Christine! |
|
Spotlight: Sally Hazen (billyporter) By Sharon Brown on May 9, 2011 "And she will spread smiles wherever she goes..." I really have no idea where I found that phrase, but it truly fits my friend, Sally. I've been on many chat threads with her over the years and whenever I see a post from 'billyporter', I rush to get my daily smile. It's a little like following the ice cream truck, you know when you catch it, you'll find a sweet treat. |
|
Spotlight: Cheryl Byers (Cajuninky) By Nancy Polanski on May 2, 2011 When I asked our guest this week if she would allow me to interview her, she agreed. But she said this in her reply, “I'm busy up potting some seedlings right now. I also want to get another planting bed finished and I hope to get some corn and mangles put in. Still have the horses to feed also so I'll get started on this tonight.” I laughed!! I expected her to finish by telling me she had no time to write! |
|
Spotlight: Franklin Troiso (herbie43) By Sharon Brown on April 25, 2011 Everybody knows Herbie. We've known him for years and we've cried and celebrated right along with him through many family events, both his and our own. But I thought maybe there might be something yet to learn about this most caring, amicable family man. Let's take a look at what he has to say. |
|
Spotlight: Sandi Kellogg (skellogg) By Nancy Polanski on April 18, 2011 "Oh give me a home where the Buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play." If you think that's only a song, then you need to meet Sandi. She's got one. It's in the Badlands, where Butch and Sundance reigned. She'll keep you glued to your seat in this interview. |
|
Pet Spotlight: Daisy and Jazz By Sharon Brown on April 11, 2011 My grandmothers taught me to make do with what I had and that's what happened with this week's Spotlight article. I simply had to make do with what I had. Join me for a Spotlight that's just a little furry around the edges. |
|
Spotlight: Dahlianut By Sharon Brown on March 28, 2011 Capturing Dahlianut is a bit like chasing a beautiful red butterfly in the midst of a garden filled with red roses. We can occasionally come close, but most often the butterfly is hiding behind the roses, dancing on their petals, and fluttering just above our heads. Luckily I've known her for several years, so I knew what I was in for when I asked her for an interview. I'd like you to meet this lovely friend of mine. |
|
Spotlight: Sheri Weldy (Sjweld) By Nancy Polanski on March 21, 2011 I became familiar with Sheri over at the Playpen of Graphics Jigsaw Puzzle Forum. Some of the puzzles Zany made were of Sheri's budgies, beautiful birds that she talked about as if they were her family. We puzzlers are a close-knit group, and I started to get attached to them too. So it was a delight for me to chat with her for this article. |
|
Spotlight: Kelli Kallenborn (Kelli) By Nancy Polanski on March 14, 2011 This week you'll meet Kelli Kallenborn. Kelli loves the Great Outdoors. She likes to go hiking. In fact she owns a cubit titled Day Hikes. Fortunately for us, she takes her camera with her. Please join me in welcoming Kelli to the Spotlight. |
|
Spotlight: Candyce Fulford (Candyce) By Sharon Brown on March 7, 2011 Gentleness flows through her words; strength builds in her story. If I ever need peace in my often chaotic life, I truly believe I could ask Candyce and she would share hers with me. Come join me as we meet this beautiful, gentle woman: Candyce Fulford. |
|
Spotlight: Dorothy Mitchell (LaVonne) By Nancy Polanski on February 28, 2011 Our interview this week is with Dorothy Mitchell, who owns several cubits and a store which sells painted gourds, jams, jellies and handmade crafts. She has tried her hand at the widest variety of crafts I've ever seen, and she has some wild stories to tell of rock hunting expeditions in the desert. Let's meet LaVonne. |
|
Spotlight: DesertPirate (Randy Lowe) By Sharon Brown on February 21, 2011 You might call him Pirate or maybe you know him as DP and sometimes he answers to Randy. I usually reserve 'Randy' for those times when I feel the need to yell at him for one thing or another, not often, mind you, just sometimes. He's been a good friend for several years and I probably could have written this article without his help but I thought if I did he might just start yelling back at me. I'd like you to meet my friend, Randy Lowe. |
|
Spotlight: Maria Williamson (Mistirose) By Nancy Polanski on February 14, 2011 We asked Cubits members to recommend names of people who we might approach about being interviewed. One name we received was Mistirose. Until recently, all I really knew about her was her unforgettable avatar. (Check it out!) I was curious to meet the person behind the “Kiss.” |
|
Spotlight: Susie Williams (Aguane) By Sharon Brown on February 7, 2011 People fascinate me, that's why I love doing Spotlight articles. My friend, Susie, is no exception. We grew up at about the same time but worlds apart. If Susie and I had traded places, I wonder how we would have functioned in each others environment. Yet here we are today with many of the same values, similar characteristics, matching dreams and the same goals. Life is funny like that, I think. Now let's meet Susie... |

Spotlight: Audrey Warren (Audrey) By Nancy Polanski on January 31, 2011 Audrey's memories of her childhood, growing up at a time when so many Americans had to “do without” during the years of WWII, are extraordinarily sad and beautiful. She has consented to share them with us, so let's welcome Audrey to the Spotlight. |
|
Spotlight: Donna Yates (HappyJackMom) By Sharon Brown on January 24, 2011 I didn't know Happy Jack was the name of a town in Arizona. I only knew that it was the name of an online friend and the name made me smile every time I saw it. Even knowing it's the name of a town, I still smile when I see my friend's name. I think you will too, after you read about her. |
|
Spotlight: Lin Vosbury (plantladylin) By Nancy Polanski on January 17, 2011 The first Spotlight of 2011 is on Plantladylin! Lin has impressed me by the kindness she exhibits in her posts here on the Cubits website. What I have come to learn about her through this interview is just how genuinely sweet she is. In fact, I joked that if you look up the definition of 'sweet' in the dictionary, you will probably find a photo of Lin Vosbury. |

|
Spotlight: Mary Forrester (MaryE) By Sharon Brown on December 6, 2010 I have a lovely friend who inspires me with every word she writes. She paints pictures with her words and takes us on trips through sunrises and snowfalls. More than likely she'll take you for a ride on the back of her horse if you ask. Let's go to Oregon for a little while; she's waiting there for us. |
|
Spotlight: Patti1957 (Patti Peck) By Nancy Polanski on November 29, 2010 I've seen Patti1957 in various cubits that I frequent. I like the way she thinks in the Word Association cubit. I like that she is active in the All about Cubits cubit. And I was intrigued to see she has a cubit about Hawaii when she lives in Oregon...... |
|
Spotlight: Ava Eads (akfishergal) By Sharon Brown on November 22, 2010 Sometimes we meet a new friend who changes our lives forever. Ava is that kind of friend.

Spotlight, Special Edition: Revisiting Dave and Trish By Sharon Brown on November 8, 2010 William Jennings Bryan said: "The greatest things ever done on Earth have been done little by little." Sometimes it's good to step back and take a look at where we came from and where we are going. Today's special edition of Spotlight will do just that. Join me, please, as we look at the revised edition of our first Spotlight article. You might see a surprise or two... |

|
Spotlight: Larry Rettig (LarryR) By Sharon Brown on October 25, 2010 Sometimes we meet a friend and we know within a heartbeat that our lives have been made better. It doesn't matter that we've never seen our new friend face to face, it only matters that the value of the friendship begins to evolve. Remember the old song "Anything You Can Do, I Can Do Better..."? Well, it was almost like that at the beginning, but I think I need to tell you the whole story so you'll understand. |
|
Spotlight: Adina Dosan (Adinamiti) By Nancy Polanski on October 18, 2010 This is the touching story of Adina Dosan of Romania, whose life has been a series of highs and lows.

|
Spotlight: Neil Muir (NEILMUIR1) By Sharon Brown on October 11, 2010 A little more than a year ago on a comment thread attached to one of my articles on medicinal plants, I met a man from England. His response to my article was valid, he knew what he was talking about, and since I wrote of plants that grew in the Appalachian mountains, I wondered how a man from England could know so much about a Kentucky wildflower. Read on, because that certainly isn't the end of the story. |
|
Spotlight: Kathleen Tenpas (Kathleen) By Nancy Polanski on October 4, 2010 Kathleen is the owner of a cubit named Farming. She and her husband run Hillfarm, in the Southern Tier of New York State.

|
Spotlight: Rannveig (Rannveig) By Nancy Polanski on September 20, 2010 There's a lovely young lady from Iceland who is a popular member of the Cubits Universe. Rann's photos have shown us that gardens can not only survive, but thrive in colder climates. Day by day, she brought us reports of the recent volcanic eruption. Now I am pleased to share with you the story of Rannveig. |
|

Spotlight: Jo Ann Gentle (ge1836) By Sharon Brown on August 30, 2010 I thought I was an artist until I met this week's Spotlight guest. Now I've decided I'm a student at the knees of a master. I knew Jo Ann could paint, I've followed her paintings for a long time, but I never knew till now just how talented she really is. It is my pleasure to introduce Jo Ann Gentle to you, and to show you some of her very beautiful work. |

|
Spotlight: Hetty Ford (Dutchlady1) By Sharon Brown on August 16, 2010 I didn't even know what Plumeria was. I was writing articles about plants and I thought I knew everything there was to know about them until a lovely lady also began to write about Plumeria. Her articles were filled with photos of wonderful blooms, the likes of which I'd never seen before and I was filled with awe. As I got to know her a little better, I found a friend who is as awesome as her flowers. I'd like you to get to know her, too. Let's meet Hetty Ford. |
|
Spotlight: Janet Rowley (JRsbugs) By Nancy Polanski on August 9, 2010 I don't know of anyone else like Janet. She takes great photos......mostly of bugs. Her floral photos and garden photos are also very pretty. She's agreed to stand in our Spotlight this week and tell us all about herself. She has an interesting story to tell. |
|
Spotlight: Diana Smailus (Pastime) By Sharon Brown on August 2, 2010 I've met so many new friends in Cubits, and one of them is a wonderful lady who creates images of flowers using the computer. I've seen computer graphics for years, but I've never seen anyone use such subtle shading and delicate line work as I've seen Diana do. She also incorporates real objects into many of her graphics. I not only admire her work, but I truly admire the person who creates it. I thought you might like to meet her. |
|
Spotlight: Charleen Harrell (Ridesredmule) By Nancy Polanski on July 26, 2010 How many of us have heard of Charley's Girls and not had any idea what that means? I, for one, fall into that category. I didn't know. I finally saw an article about Charley the big red mule and became enchanted with Charley and Charleen. So I'd like you all to join me on a journey to Georgia to meet them. |
|
Spotlight: Eileen Muir (Eileen) By Sharon Brown on July 19, 2010 Artists work in many media. Some paint pictures, throw pots, carve wood, write music, take photos, wield torches and some create wonderful images with stitches. I found this artist quite by accident when she very humbly asked if she could post photos of her needlework on the Sewing Cubit. Come with me and I'll introduce her to you! |
|
Spotlight: Brenda Essig (Zanymuse) By Nancy Polanski on July 12, 2010 When I first asked Zany to be in our Spotlight, she was reluctant. She thought she wouldn't have enough to say and people wouldn't be interested. This interview proves she was wrong on both counts. |
|
Spotlight: Dorothy McDevitt (Dorothy) By Sharon Brown on July 5, 2010 Art will forever be my passion, because it tells a story without words. Sometimes I happen upon an artist who with one brush stroke can say more words than I could write in a lifetime. I'd like you to meet one of those very talented artists. Chances are, you might already know her. |
|
Spotlight: Kathy Puckett (Boojum) By Nancy Polanski on June 28, 2010 Boojum, as she has always been known, is an expert on orchids. That's why I selected her to be in our Spotlight this week.

|
Spotlight: Maria Ramspott (Maria) By Sharon Brown on June 21, 2010 Very rarely do we ever meet someone who walks right into our hearts and remains there. Even more rarely do we ever meet one who has lived the history we have only read about in books. It is an honor for me to know Maria, and an even greater honor to share her story with you. Hold on to your hearts, my friends, because Maria will surely touch yours. |
|

Spotlight: Doris Klene (kareoke) By Nancy Polanski on May 17, 2010 This is the story of how a young teenager from England left her family and everything familiar, to travel across the Ocean with her new husband and take up residence in a strange land called Indiana. And now, after many decades of Americanization, I have met and become captivated by this charming lady. Her name is Doris Klene. |

I invite you to meet Chris Rentmeister. |
