About the Book
A salad-eating dog, the haunted trunk, a 'possum who drinks coffee-The Blue Box and Memories that Live in the Bones by Sharon Mabry is a collection of stories about Mabry's growing up years in the mountains of East Tennessee, some of the adventures in her 56-year marriage, and her thoughts on retirement after teaching for 52 years at Austin Peay State University. Mabry writes with wit and candor about her mother's declining health and the changes to her family home. Throughout her life, Mabry finds the humor that lives within each moment. The Blue Box and Memories that Live in the Bones is a collection that glimpses into the inner joy that maintains Mabry's dimpled cheeks and smiling eyes. It's a contagious outlook that will inspire readers to find amusement in their own reflections.

NOVEMBER: Theme-- A Porch Conversation
The porch, how much transpires there? Deliveries, drop offs, pick ups, chance encounters, surprise packages, guests received, goodbyes expressed, boxes and presents and mail.
If you're writing fiction, place your character on the porch, having a conversation. What type of porch? Are your characters on the steps leading to the porch? Is it a stoop? Or, does it wrap around to a balcony? Do they seek the porch for retreat? Do they use it to listen to the outside world, to the inside of the house coming out? What does the porch contain?
Is your character talking to a stranger? To herself? Does she take someone's calls on the porch for privacy?
If you're writing nonfiction, describe a porch that was important to you or a moment in your life. Look around and notice how other people use their porches.
Vocabulary Words for added challenge:
1. colonnade
2. portage
