Order Mary Buxton’s books
Life and love in the rural tidewater area of Virginia is a common thread that runs through nearly all of Mary Wakefield Buxton's books. The push and pull of old and new, North and South, man and woman, life and death, are discovered, illuminated and reflected upon in each of them. Such is the heart and soul of a writer.

Chuck Ylonen was “Mr. Rotary”
I have most regrettably reached the age in life that when I go away for a few weeks on vacation, I know that upon return, someone that I cared very much for will have passed away. It happens every time I leave town. I guess this phenomenon comes with age.

Pride of Middlesex
This Saturday is what I consider to be one of the happiest events of the year, presentation of the Pride of Middlesex award, when many citizens come together over dinner and celebrate some of our truly special citizens. This year’s recipients are sisters Ruby Lee Norris and Rachel Bridger.

Grandmother’s Advice
As Easter approaches it is time to be grateful for the many blessings of life. One for me is memories of Grandmother Wakefield in the 1940s. She always had good advice to share with me.

Take Tea and See
But, I wonder if I can sweet talk my husband Chip into joining me at noon on April 15? Would you, would you, dearest? That would, at least, make two of us. Not counting the dogs. Not exactly a revolution.
