To BEE or Not to Be
As a child clover, bees and myself were very close. Too close. I have stepped on so many honey bees that the count is well past single digits. My field of delight and peril existed between my grandmother’s antebellum house on Three Chopt Road in Richmond and the tiny little two car garage size home my grandparents built for my dad, mom and myself. The builders literally moved the garage to the…
National Polka Month
Me and fellow classmate Mike Jones, Students of the Month for April 1962. Student of the Month was a new recognition at our school and I like to think that maybe I helped Dare County embrace this idea since School Board member Ralph Buxton asked me what the pin i was wearing symbolized. He liked the positivity and I like to think that he started this fine tradition in Dare County. Fun fact…

THE Wedding Dress Act 3
If you have been following this random blog you know the story of THE wedding dress Acts 1, 2 & 4. But what about Act 3 you wonder. It’s a great one! Read on to see if you agree. I asked good friend Sherrie to write down the story she verbally told me about lending the dress to another friend and this is what she jotted: “Wow…this is going to test my memory!! My friend Charlotte (Char) from…

Camp OBX 2020 = ONE Single Camper
ACT ONE It’s one crazy summer and midweek in late August veteran camper Jake has had enough. “I’m thinking of driving down for a Kill Devil’s burger tomorrow. Would love to say a socially distant hello.” It’s early evening so I counter. “We can do you one better if you like. Stay here. Uncle Donny’s suggestion. Sleep in the pub. On the porch. On the deck. The trampoline (Lewis did that one…

One Hundred YEARS of Gratitude
One Hundred YEARS of Gratitude
Halfway on our path from the cottage to the bay. From December 31, 1920 to September 30, 2020 a small piece of land on the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia offers a tiny slice of beauty, bugs and the best of life to my grandfather and his family. He inherits this property from his mother’s estate. There used to be far more land to the tiny peninsular where the property sits than…

Remember Santa Loves YOU!
Remember Santa Loves YOU!
For generations both my family and Donny’s visit the real and only Santa at the Miller & Rhoads flagship store in downtown Richmond. I am lucky enough to visit Santa Bill Strother, who sells the store suits on spending money on an elaborate Santa set up. Fresh from a career in Hollywood, cut short by injury, local son at the urging of his wife, Bill applies to the store for the role of Santa. But…

Hamilton TO Hadestown
May 18, 2019
It is sometime in the early spring of 2018 when daughter Emily calls me up and asks what we might be doing May 18, 2019. I tell her I’m fairly certain our calendar is clear and she says to mark that date as saved.
I wait for the other shoe to drop and it is a heavy lifter. Son-in-law Marty has managed to secure box office price tickets to see Hamilton. In NYC. At Richard…

Peter, Paul & Mary and ME
Peter Yarrow, Paul Stookey, Mary Travers
Nephew Jake sends a text this evening asking if I was ever a fan of Bob Dylan. I laugh and tell him he’s opening a can of fun worms. I dig out my epiphany post and send it to him. He then asks about Elvis. Nada there but I tell him I do have an awesome PP&M story and wander over to my blogspot world to dig it out to move over here.
I first *meet*…

Postal SERVICE Rocks
No, not that Postal Service although their original Such Great Heights (covered by Iron & Wine) is on my short list of all time favorite. I mean the USPS, so much in the news these day of summer 2020.
Easter 1948. I am second from left.
My paternal grandmother factors into my life off and on until her dying day. She and my grandfather care for me in that I actually live with them as a…

ONE Big Family
Donny suggests that I write a blog post about family and how everyone used to pull together without question to help each other out. It went without saying that grandparents, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles never hesitated to open the door for days, weeks, months whenever and for however long the need.
I live with my paternal grandparents as a pre-schooler so that my parents can both work.…

Honeymoon Take Two Part 2
In case you have not read Part 1 or if you did but need a refresh click here. If you’re up to speed carry on. We saunter, is there any other walking mode in Colonial Williamsburg really, back to Market Square #3056 (#13 is so much cooler) to get ready for dinner. We chance upon a couple staying in one of the rooms under ours and we exchange stories about how we each become enchanted and attached…
