From Dubois County

Hey Reader,

Read any good books lately?

I picked up Matt Haig's "The Life Impossible" and have enjoyed it so far. It's a bit of an upturn from my last two reads. Both were by David Joy, whose books have very little joy in them, though they are beautifully written.

I tried reading Haig's "The Midnight Library," which everyone loved, but I couldn't get through it for some reason. I might try it again after this one.

Scott Saalman wrote a pretty good column about his Songs of Summer. It reminded me of my summer songs and how, when they play, I'm taken back to that time.

Also, we linked to a Facebook post about a story featuring Father Schipp in the Ferdinand News this week.

Check out the other headlines below.

From Dubois County with love.

Matthew and Amy Crane

Tuesday, June 24, 2025 Issue #111 From Dubois County Elliot Schiefer-Temple tentatively dipped his hand in one of the fountains at Central Green today. He was there with his babysitters, Joselin Miranda (holding him) and Adilynn Foster, who took advantage of the shade-covered benches while playing in the water. Good Tuesday afternoon, Reader, Stories are funny. Sometimes you have hours in interviewing, observing and photographing your subject and end up writing what you think is a masterpiece...
