		<description><![CDATA[Note: You will notice that I&#8217;ve gone from Miss or Mrs. to just plain Miz for all women. I believe that&#8217;s how we (in the 1950s) pronounced the names of ladies to whom we were to show respect (&#8217;specially school teachers and Sunday school teachers) and whose state of matrimony was immaterial. I imagine our [...]]]></description>

Her Mama had loved an extravagant name so, and she&#8217;d been in the valley of the shadow of childbirth so many times and buried so many babies that Papa&#8217;s heart finally just [...]]]></description>

Whatever else can be said about Elvis Presley&#8217;s mansion at Graceland, you gotta admit there&#8217;s nothing like it anywhere else.  Elvis used his money to surround himself with exactly what he wanted, not what some snooty designer told him was aesthetically correct.  His followers consider the place a shrine, a fact that was proven to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In all of our giving
on Christmas Day morning
remember God’s Gift
the manger adorning.
Read from the Gospels
the wonderful story
how Jesus came down
from the splendors of glory
to live here a while—
Christ among men,
the Light of the world—
the Atonement for sin.
Let Christ be exalted
in our jubilation—
He came to earth
to bring us salvation.
In the joy and excitement
on Christmas Day morning,

		<description><![CDATA[Since it has a nice little part in the story, being the site of the only murder trial ever faced by Byrd Richardson, I&#8217;ve become fascinated (my family might say &#8220;obsessed&#8221;) by our original courthouse building. Like most early parts and people of our hometown, the 1902 courthouse has escaped my memory, probably because it [...]]]></description>

Our town in 1951, like most American small towns in the middle of the twentieth century, was a place where very little out of the ordinary ever seemed to happen. The storefronts were occupied with thriving little businesses, and the sidewalks were busy with foot traffic then. Men in ties and fedoras or flannel and [...]]]></description>

But how can we really define greatness;  [...]]]></description>
