UPPAA – What’s that? If you are familiar with Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, you might have a head start on this acronym. UP – Upper Peninsula. PAA – Publishers and Authors Association. This is a great organization and isn’t limited to “Yooper” members only. (Yoopers are people who live in the Upper Peninsula.) If you have…
Wild Word Friday again! Today’s word is FOLLOW, well not really follow, but follee. That’s the way my 91-year-old father-in-law says follow. He also pronounces swallow as swallee and hollow as hollee. As in, “I tried to follee the rabbit into the hollee, but he was gone before you could swallee twice.” For years I assumed his…

I love the story about the elderly Athabascan woman who was asked how to make moosehide moccasins. Her reply? “Well, first you kill a moose.” In other words, have a seat.
