Do you remember the dime stores of the '60s? Did you ever shop at G.C. Murphy's, Woolworth's, or Newberry's? Discount department stores became very popular in the '70s and dime stores began to close.

The glory days of department store shopping have faded away and we now live in a big box world. I always loved shopping in downtown Defiance, Ohio when I was growing up in the '60s. My favorite store was G.C....

Life was never boring in Defiance
Excerpt: "Our class went to the school library for a research project. As I was looking for a book, a note that was folded up like a football flew over the top of a six-foot-high bookshelf and landed at my feet. It was a request for my friend Cindy and me to go on a double date with Randy and his best friend, Tim.
The following day, a five-pound bag of sour balls mysteriously appeared in my locker, along with another note requesting a date. I found out where Randy's locker was and returned the candy, along with a note saying that Cindy and I had to...

More adventures of the Cast-Off Cocker Spaniels Excerpt: Blondie, a former puppy mill mom, was diagnosed with a serious heart problem at the age of seven. It wasn't really surprising that she had a bad heart, possibly the result of poor breeding or inbreeding. The vet didn't have much hope for her. He said Blondie would probably only live a few months up to a year with a leaky heart valve. Blondie showed no signs of having a heart problem. She wasn't coughing or getting tired easily. Since I wasn't ready to give up on her, I found a specialist in the area and scheduled a consultation for...
