A friend visited with her granddaughter at my house near Iuka. She later made the child write me a thank you. While I appreciated the manners lesson and the letter, an accidental compliment in its contents absolutely thrilled me.

“I like your play house,” the girl wrote. “Where is your real house?”

It’s easy to see why a child might consider my small cottage in the woods at the tiptop of Mississippi a nice place to camp and romp and chase lightning bugs – but not a house where you’d actually live.
