		<title>On Patience &amp; Sushi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Few who know Earline accuse her of having an overabundance of patience. Earline herself still remembers her kind, forbearing mama saying, “Sister, you have got to learn patience!” Earline loved her mama, she really did. And she wanted to please her. But some things just weren’t possible. What happened on a south Florida Tami-Ami Trail [...]]]></description>

		<title>Of Mountains &amp; Beans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A detail. An impression. A scene, or a scent. Any one can evoke a memory. Cycling this fresh summer morning on one of Boulder’s quiet bike paths, breathing soft air, gazing at the still snow-capped mountains off in the distance, an image of those decades-ago summer trips with my mother, brother, sister and aunt came [...]]]></description>

		<title>Roll, Roll, Roll that Cigarette</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stories about family sometimes come up in unlikely places, as Earline and I learned a couple of years ago. We were at Ms. Pencie Wester’s viewing in Marianna. Ms. Pencie, who passed at the age of 102, knew almost everybody in Jackson County, Earline and her eldest brother, Red, included. We were talking with Ms. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trade Show Tricks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our first book signing together and it happened on May 7th, the day before Mother’s Day, at Chipola River Books &#38; Tea in Marianna, Florida. Bookshop owner Michael Downum provided a gracious setting for the special event. Candy gemstones friend Jayne Satter found in Mexico were part of the fun. I read, Earline enacted, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Satsuma Mischief</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earline&#8217;s childhood was filled with the everyday workings of a large family that included her parents, nine children, and her daddy&#8217;s brother, Uncle Lon. But when the kids weren’t working, doing chores, in school, or playing jackknife or poker, they’d find other ways to amuse themselves, and at times it was at someone else’s expense. A [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet Harmony</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I wrote earlier, this blog seems a perfect place to share some of the memories and events that didn&#8217;t make it into the book. One of Earline&#8217;s memories that I love is about her Granddaddy Stevens. For me, this scene evokes the peacefulness of a summer evening, the comfort of likeminded neighbors, and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>How to Carry Chickens</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Working with my mother, Earline, to learn more about her life and write this book was a gift to me. I did, indeed, learn many things, and not just about her life. On a first draft of the scene in which she walks to town to trade two Rhode Island Red hens (Chapter Three, &#8220;Back [...]]]></description>

		<title>To Celebrate~</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After all these months, a new post! I&#8217;ve discovered blogging is a skill not yet developed by this writer. But it seems only fitting to report the recognition Gia-fu&#8217;s biography has received. In addition to many kind, thoughtful letters, phone calls, and emails from readers, Still Point of the Turning World: The Life of Gia-fu [...]]]></description>

		<title>Multiple Facets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of the most helpful comments I heard during my interviews with Gia-fu&#8217;s family, friends, colleagues, and acquaintances, came from C.H., Gia-fu&#8217;s next youngest brother.  When I asked C.H. about a circumstance revealing what seemed a contradiction between Gia-fu&#8217;s words and actions, he said this.  &#8221;Ah, Carol.  People are multi-faceted.  And Gia-fu, even more so.&#8221; [...]]]></description>
