Everyone enjoys a good story.

No matter how old I become I will never tire from reading a good story. Triond abounds with stories of every description…happy stories…funny stories and stories that have brought a tear to my eye.

  1. The Lolly Shop

    I find that I keep coming back to this story, though I am not sure why. For some reason this author touched something in me and I find myself wishing for more.

  4. Battle Against the Storm

    Held me captive until the very end with an exciting ending I did not expect.

I consider myself fortunate. Triond has given me a place to belong and the opportunity to express myself. It is a privilege to be in the midst of such talented and passionate writers who have made me laugh, grin, wonder, and cry.

Each work is a generous gift of self and if I could, they would all share a position on this page. We are a team. A group of players lending support, reassurance, friendship, and encouragement to one another…We are Triond.

    Anne, Icy, and Dee, my only regret was having to leave so many authors and articles out. Triond really is a treasure trove of inspiration and information.

    Whether I was included or not, this is an excellent review. Very thoughtful, so we can read what we missed.

    Way to Go, Darlene! Little did I know that when I clicked on this just to see what you were up to (and the title was intriguing!) that I’d find an article I’ve actually been meaning to look up for some time. It was Dee Huff’s article on growing potatoes in a bag. I tried that recently without her guidance, lol, and let’s just say from now one I’d better stick to the “recipe” so thanks once again. What a greatand timely idea you had to give us a list of featured articles for the year.

  • Darlene McFarlane
