Guess where I went over the weekend? Put on your green glasses and come see the Emerald City in the second weekend showing of Oz! The Musical, performed by our talented young actors from the Floyd Community Theater Guild at The June Bug Center, Friday and Saturday at 7:00 pm and Sunday at 2:00. Look […]
I’m bad with dates. It’s been that way ever since high school when we had to memorize the dates of wars, even though history was my favorite subject because it’s all about stories. Joe and I rarely celebrate our wedding anniversary. We remember that it was a blue moon in June but rarely can remember […]
Not far from the tree It all came down to Joe and this big black cow. Meanwhile, I watched from a monarch Shangri-La in a goldenrod patch that we stumbled upon. I tracked. I stalked. I waited. Everyone won. The cow ate too. And there was apple crisp that evening. _______Our World Tuesday
There were some good jokes and deliveries, some good physical comedy and good New Yowk accents at the final June Bug performance of the Floyd Community Theatre Guild’s production of Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. It was the female version. I think the girls here are turning their noses up at some questionable sandwiches found […]
I’d Rather Be Part 2 HERE. ________________________Our World Tuesday
I really wanted to wear bell-bottoms to the Summer of Love Party at Dogtown last night, but I don’t have or couldn’t find any. I do have two memorable items of clothing from 1969 that I could have worn but chose the above 1980’s thrift shop top because I knew it would be easier to […]
I can’t walk by OuterSpace on the way to dance at Dogtown without stopping. I went inside Barb’s magic blue bus for the first time. While I was on the bus Joe played piano. The Buddhas live here. There’s a free library and a space mail box. We stopped on the way out after dancing […]
Did you hear the pin drop? Did you see how she embodies the music she makes? Who knew what a harp could do? _____________Look for a story and photos in an upcoming Floyd Press.
What could be more summer than watermelon, Frisbee and a neighborhood baseball game in the yard? !*##&&? Liam’s first base ace. Ryder’s fast ball. Bryce’s Boom! Joe bowled us over with his pitching. Kaitlin’s kick off! Waah! I wanna play more baseball. Best seat in the house. Or maybe this is. Luna was everyone’s best […]
I’m jumping on the CBD Oil bandwagon, only in this case, the bandwagon is Barb’s Blue Bus. Joe and I stopped by the soft opening of OUTERSPACE, the collaborative street venue of John Beegle’s Bootleg BBQ, Erika Johnson’s Revolution Juice Yurt and Barbara Gillespie’s Grateful Bread Blue Bus. Joe ordered and I tasted one of […]
We spent a little time on the mountain dancing to The Kind at the Pine. _____________________________Our World Tuesday
I’m a sucker for Mustang Sally. The next day I went to a house concert at Grateful Bread and was shocked to discover that I knew the featured duo, Cicada Rhythm. The guitar player went to high school with my son Josh’s wife Emily, and they played at Emily and Josh’s wedding last year. The […]
The 2nd annual Mayfaire at the Floyd Center for the Arts is in full swing, or should I say “full spring.” There are plenty of festive ribbons and flowers to go around. The rain held off and the sun mostly shone from 10 a.m. till about 4:30. Tomorrow is another day to check out all […]
The next best thing to Pink Floyd in Floyd is The Darkside Experience, an operatic Pink Floyd immersion, complete with an epic light show. And it happened right here in Floyd at our hometown Dogtown Roadhouse. We were all in the Pink of psychedelic nostalgia and loving every moment. Beam me up, Roger. Back […]
It’s April 16th and the butterfly count is two. Both were yellow swallowtails. The mountain bluebird count is one. The forsythia blooms have come and gone and now I’m waiting for dogwood petals to wax full, like the moon. The sound of an airplane overhead makes me homesick for my Hull, Massachusetts hometown peninsula, where […]

When you dance, I can really love…. and for those of us who love dancing it was a real LoveFest last night, dancing at the second annual (putting my wish in now) Neil Young Tribute Concert for Climate to benefit SustainFloyd, our local grassroots environmental group. Like last year, a host of friends played on […]
I had my first green beer on St. Patrick’s Day. I also ate green and gold chocolate shamrocks, homemade by Floyd’s Cocoa Mia. We spent Saturday night at the Buffalo Mountain Brewery’s McDaniel’s Tavern with the rest of the Irish loving town and people beyond. A friend greeted me by saying, “Erin Go Bragh.” “What, […]
