It was organized by a local singer/songwriter and they were the second of four bands performing at the show. Their band went on at twilight, that magical time just after the sun sets but the sky is still partially illuminated.  It was the perfect ... Read More about A Rockin’ Weekend

It has been raining since last night. Since it so rarely rains here, when it does, it can throw us for a loop.

And when I say a little, I mean a whole lot. My list of yearly “must have” holiday treats grows a little bit longer every year.
