It was the second Thanksgiving meal in the past couple of days. Amy suggested a chicken since dinner attendance would be small this year, but I agreed to roast a turkey (for the first time in over 30 years) because I wanted the gravy. Everything tastes better with gravy! So, the gravy came out great, […]
The view from here with pizza and beer. We ordered the kitchen sink (as in with everything on it) and enjoyed it on our favorite Dogtown Roadhouse couch. I really regret that I didn’t dance to that Lou Reed song.
It was part birthday party, part house concert and part book signing. It was a small gathering of friends at my friend Alwyn’s Blacksburg home to celebrate her 93rd birthday. Amid the chocolate cherry cake, pumpkin pie, cherry garcia ice cream and her cat Cloudy, who wanted to get in the act, was a gift […]
It’s the best therapy in the world, dancing to the Grateful Dead tunes of The Kind. Doing it in Halloween costumes at our long-loved Pine Tavern only adds to the high point experience. And I found out who Yoda was at the Dogtown party the night before! It pays to be persistent. Thumbs up for […]
Out with my Boo @ Dogtown for Halloween! Joe and I weren’t the only butterflies! This one is dancing to DJ Robbie’s mix before Music Road Company hit the stage. Dogtown is known for it’s excellent pizza! And Halloween is known for witches. I offered anyone a free beer if they could figure out who […]
What can I say? I feel compelled to dance and compelled to record the occasion. We got the $10 show price at Dogtown. They paid $30 the night before and more than that, I suspect, when she opened for Lee Ann Womack this month. A lot has happened since Morgan first debuted her songs on […]
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 […]
