Grace Does Manhattan
Grace and her fellow schoolmates from the Green Hill High School Orchestra travel to New York City to appear in the Queens College Festival of Music held on campus at the Aaron Copeland School of Music. But a first trip to NYC includes a visit to many of the city's wonderful sites as well as attending a Broadway show.
Just down the street from their hotel is Times Square

Mid Winter Tidbits. . .
College Girls Just Want to Have Fun
A mid February snow storm comes through Western Virginia and Addy and her college friends are out to enjoy the snow when the college closed all classes because of the snow
Mardi Gras Dessert Treat
The baby Jesus plastic doll inside the King Cake
It's Mardi Gras and time for the traditional King Cake. This one came be mail directly from the Bakery in New Orleans and it needed was to be iced and sprinkled. Katie took on that chore and after a 15 second visit to the microwave, a delicious dessert was served. The plastic baby Jesue doll was in the piece eaten by Charles near the end of eating the cake.
The House that Uncle Herbert Built
In 1962 my late Uncle Herbert Bridges, a very skilled carpenter, was hired in Paducah, Kentucky by Metro Goldwyn Mayer to assist in building the sets for their block-buster movie "How the West Was Won." He was most proud of helping to built this early pioneer home on the bank of the Cumberland River which was used in several scenes of the movie. He said the "movie set" reminded him of the early family homes that our pioneer families actually lived in when they settled in Western Kentucky.
And What has William Been Doing. . .

Into My Woods
Living on the edge of a heavily forested area is a dream come true. The view from the easy chair of my comfortable den chair through the window into the center of this primeval area is joy to behold. The view varies from season to season. I can look out into this untouched area and imagine the many worlds it beholds, the trees, the plants, the animals and the quietness away from the nearby busy areas. So as I stare out daily into this wonderland, I dream of going "Into my woods".
