I hate autumn. I know, the leaves are pretty when they change color.  If you have ever driven down through the mountains of West Virginia in Oct. you can see some breathtaking views.  The air has turned a little cooler and it is a refreshing change from the overbearing humidity of Aug. and a few […]

My iPhone recently informed me that I was out of room to store any more pictures. This prompted me to go back through my photos to see if there were any that I could get rid of.  In scanning back through the photos, I came across the photographs I took of the strangest wedding I’ve ever […]

For anyone who was fortunate enough to turn legal during the disco era, it was great fun! There were so many clubs to go to. Tin Pan Alley and The Palace were my favorite weekend hangouts. We would go to one on Friday night and the other one on Saturday night. The floors flashed to […]

I love parades and went to Wheeling’s parade for more years than I care to admit. And since Wheeling changed their parade to include lights, I have helped decorate a few floats and been in a couple of the parades with one or both of my kids.  According to online records, Wheeling’s first parade was […]
