Good Morning Everyone! Today's blog is dedicated to Bill and Shirley Lonsbury who celebrated their 61st wedding anniversary on Sunday. They were married here in Angola, Indiana at the Marriage Mill.
They truly have a love story so enjoy the photos, videos and story!
Enjoy the video and a look at the Grand Lakes canoe. I love Mike's story which you can read on the previous blog site!As always, thanks for reading and viewing!
This summer my life has centered around my own garden with daily jaunts (on my bike) to town, storytelling performances, and community events.
I guess I could say that my garden was my artist pallett for the summer along with creating and finding new outlets for my work in my studio.
Recently (Monday evening) one of my writing books was returned to me after it circulated around my neighborhood.
As soon as I held this book in my hands, I felt compelled to open it immediately. My pencil notations were all over the book with phrases underlined, and notes to self evident in margins.
This book is "Writing from the Center" by Scott Russell Sanders. The book was written in 1995 and dedicated to Wendell Berry.
If you are a serious writer or want to feel more connected to your own home place I highly recommend this book. It may be out of print, but you can always go to Abe books!
I noticed that I made several notes to myself speaking of my pursuit of holiness and questions about who I am, how I write, and how going home can put peace into my soul.
For this summer, my soul belongs to the above garden, my House at White Picket Gardens and my community in northern Indiana.
So, where can you find your soul this summer? Just things to think about while watching fireflies or swinging at the park, or sitting outside at midnight watching the waxing moon slide against the summer sky.
Once again I am out and about in my small town of Angola, Indiana. This time it is date night with my favorite two young men, Matthew and Jonah.
Here we are at The Strand Theater on the square getting ready to see the new Disney movie, Brave. I actually was able to get a brief interview with the owner, but as you can see, it is brief.
I support my local theaters as often as I can keeping alive our downtown. Please support your local theatre as well!
By the way, my brief movie is not upside down, so don't worry! As for Brave, I really loved it. I think Disney brought back some of its magic for this show. The little red headed heroine, now she is definitely a star!
As always, enjoy and thanks for checking in to see what is going on in my small town!
