It is with great excitement that I invite you all to the Deep Water Theater on Friday or Saturday evening for my new show, A Baptist Girl's Guide to Love and Happiness (a coming of age story!) Sundae Horn and Marcy Brenner will share the stage with me with musical interludes from decades gone by. The show starts at 8:30 and tickets are $7.00 at the door! Hope to see you at the show!
Dear Friends, Another Sunday morning on the Island. It is quiet except for the morning church bells calling folks out of cottages to attend services. Yesterday was full of visitors...mostly family members related to Philip in some way or other. The conversations were of Ocracoke long ago and now. Many other discussions followed about how folks were actually related...third cousins once removed? No, my uncle's second cousin twice removed! Since I am not related to any of them, I could just shake my head and eat brownies! The above is the link to this week's column! Enjoy. The following photos will help you see the story! Oh, I might add Sundae sent me a text saying she was not in charge of Bingo any more, but she was for a long time!
Every year we celebrate the July birthdays in style on Ocracoke. This year (as well as last) Philip and I hosted the party! It was wonderful grouping of friends for a pot luck dinner here at the house. We took photos of all the birthday guests out in the yard surrounded by the bubble machine. Let's see how many of these folks you recognize!!
Last week I took my first ever painting class on Ocracoke Island with Mary Bassell. Mary is a wonderful artist and a very patient teacher. She gives morning classes in her studio using pastels, and you actually come home with a painting. I wrote the above article for my weekly column! As always, enjoy!
Dear Friends, All of a sudden I realized that this post would be my 1,000th blog post! It is such a milestone for me! I can't begin to mention all of the events and adventures that we have traveled on together. Through all the joy and hardships over the past few years I have shared it with you through my writings, poems, and photographs! I thank you deeply for enriching my life! So cheers to life and another 1,000 blog posts! This short video was taken in Avon, North Carolina on the Outer Banks. Philip and I stopped at an art fair on our way home from the orthopedist. When I saw the hula hoops I immediately knew I wanted that for this post. My world does indeed go in circles! Whereas I did not buy the hula hoop, the folks at spinfinite Designs were delighted to loan me one for my short video! Enjoy and thank you again!
How can I end this post without a poem from Emily Dickinson?
The above headline is the link to this week's column about Andy Anderson. I had a great time hanging out with Andy one morning last week. As always, enjoy!
