Sonny Gets His Wings
Several folks have written in asking about Cousin Sonny, who is well known for being so lazy he wouldn’t walk in his sleep.

Fannie Flagg
She was born in Birmingham, Alabama on September 21, 1941 and christened Patricia Neal. From the age of six she dreamed of becoming a writer, but the goal seemed unattainable.

Battle Royal
I was visiting with the Good Judge yesterday. We’d finished our business at the drugstore and were leaning against his car catching up on the latest when Georgia Hathcock and Sue Ellen Binder wheeled in and parked on both sides of us. The Judge raised his eyebrows at me and grinned at me. “Stop it,” I said. “Don’t you go making matters worse, you old
