A father recalls reading to daughter Megan as she grows from child to young writer. Megan, now nearly 12, writes poetry and stories about animals and fantasy, inspired by books like Goldilocks and Harry Potter. The piece honors words, family, and imagination.
Miami Herald humorist Dave Barry recalls a chaotic spectacle of amateur aviation skits. Teams from Orlando and abroad built ridiculous craft shaped like pigeons, cows, and hats, then launched them from a 30 foot platform into the bay amid chaotic costumes and comical crashes. The crowd roared as impractical crafts plunged, with one prosthetic leg joke drawing loud applause from Miami.
Maria Adamson moved from Berlin to St Louis with seven cents and built a life as a seamstress in Du Quoin and at home. She knits intricate lace patterns from her mother’s Berlin designs using cotton thread and a set of five needles, finishing a 10 inch piece in a day and larger works in a week. Her lace sells at The Artisans Shop and from her Valier home, with prices starting at $25. Contact Polly again at aol.com or 618-937-2019.
