Sunny Side of the Hill: Cleary and Kimmel and me—Whoopee!
http://sybillacook.blogspot.com/2014/07/cleary-and-kimmel-and-mewhoopee.html
Sunny Side of the Hill. July 10, 2014. Cleary and Kimmel and me—Whoopee! An author I knew when I lived in Roseburg, wrote A Place of Her Own. A neat historical story about an ancestor who bought her OWN farm (imagine that! In Oregon back in the 1800s, even though a mere woman. Another excellent example of the overlooked stories of pioneer women who came out on the Oregon Trail—not always willingly! Coincidentally, we have the same publisher: Globe Pequot of Connecticut. Who would have imagined that?

Sunny Side of the Hill: February 2013

Sunny Side of the Hill. February 24, 2013. CLEANING UP THE CULCH AND REDDING UP YOUR ROOM. This month’s word find was in an article in the Oregonian. Another old phrase I heard people use when I lived in the East is “redding up a room.” I suspect the root is getting a room ready for company, probably by knolling the pillows and books and dumping the culch where it won’t be seen. If we have all these neat words for housekeeping, why don’t we have enough neat words for the company that we keep? The step re...

Sunny Side of the Hill. June 6, 2011. RETIREMENT ON THE SUNNY SIDE. Assisted living facilities are for those who need special help for temporary or permanent disabilities or for memory care. Some add on costs for each separate type of help you need such as managing meds or showers, and in some you just move from one monthly care plan to another. Sybilla A. Cook.

Sunny Side of the Hill: November 2013
http://sybillacook.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
Sunny Side of the Hill. November 15, 2013. A NEW WALKING DISCOVERY. A few days ago the publicist at Globe Pequot emailed me a five star review of Walking Portland Oregon. That had appeared in the Portland Book Review. This came out of the blue from people I did not know, and the book was judged solely on its merits, not because anyone knew me. I’d worked hard with friends and family to make it the best book possible, but I always feel I should have done more. Then—and this is what is so fun about w...
