MEETING A PRESIDENT

Us with President Clinton on Martha's Vineyard. It had been a hard year. Licking our collective and individual wounds, Garry and I wobbled tentatively … Continue reading MEETING A PRESIDENT

TIME FOR A DRINK! LIFT YOUR GLASS TO BECKYB – Marilyn Armstrong

Time for a Drink for BeckyB! It was party time in Massachusetts. I would probably have been content to stay home and process bird pictures, but Garry felt we needed an airing. Also, he wanted to find out how his cochlear implant would handle a really large party. George Regan gives amazing parties. He's kind … Continue reading TIME FOR A DRINK!

PHOTO CHALLENGE: FESTIVAL – WHERE’S THE BAR? – Marilyn Armstrong

Photo Challenge: Festival One thing is true of every festival. Everyone says hi and finds a place to sit. Then they ask: "Where's the bar?" After which, everyone bellies up to the bar, especially if it isn't a "cash bar." Pity I don't drink. Sometimes, I think a drink might be a perfect solution to … Continue reading PHOTO CHALLENGE: FESTIVAL – WHERE’S THE BAR? – Marilyn Armstrong

ODD BALLS FROM THE MOB – CEE’S ODDBALL PHOTO CHALLENGE – Marilyn Armstrong

Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: April 22, 2018 We went to a party. They aren't my best pictures, but they were more fun than most. A word about processing people pictures from parties.

MY MOTHER, THE PARTY PLANNER – BY ELLIN CURLEY

In the 1950’s, 60’s and 70’s in New York City, social life revolved around the dinner party. Anywhere from six to twelve people would gather at someone’s home for drinks, appetizers and a sit down dinner.

A VERY HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY, AUNT HELEN! BY TOM CURLEY

I have a wonderful family. Most of them live in Minnesota. Oddly, we don’t talk much. It’s not that we don’t like each other. It’s not that we’re mad at each other. We all get along just fine. We just don’t. Talk. Maybe it’s because we’re WASPs. (White Anglo-Saxon Protestants) We tend to talk to … Continue reading A VERY HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY, AUNT HELEN! BY TOM CURLEY

THE BIRTHDAY PARTY – GARRY ARMSTRONG

A birthday party was the perfect prescription for those of us trying to wrestle with the state of our nation and the new administration in Washington, D.C. Our friend Dave invited us to share his birthday. Nothing fancy. No presents. Just a few friends, snacks, drinks and a small cake. Dave lives just a few miles … Continue reading THE BIRTHDAY PARTY – GARRY ARMSTRONG
