If you’ve been to downtown Lewisburg, it’s hard to miss the Campus Theatre. If you haven’t been to the region, it’s an excellent reason to visit. The Campus Theatre, a historic art deco movie palace, is located in the heart of historic downtown Lewisburg (which is on the banks of the Susquehanna River in Central [...]

You know those crazy “dog people” who get their pooches memory foam beds, feed them organic treats, and take them to doggie daycare? Well, about 6 months ago, I become one. I didn’t used to be this way. In fact, when I saw people treating their dogs like kids, I secretly rolled my eyes. But [...]

Three bits: My racing buddies all got together at the River Town Race Series (RTRS) season awards luncheon, held at Danville High School. Participants of the 2009 RTRS were awarded for their accomplishments in the series.  It was really cool to see everyone with whom I’d brushed elbows throughout the year.  The food was as [...]

It’s kinda sad to admit it, but the holidays are definitely over (despite the fact that many of my neighbors still have their Christmas trees and outdoor lights up). And you know what that means – the wintertime blahs are s-l-o-w-l-y starting to creep in. If you ask me, there just aren’t enough “distractions” this [...]

Now that cooler weather is here, my assortment of tea cups have a permanent place on my desk. I am a tea junkie – black, green, oolong, white, herbal or fruit-flavored, it all warms my soul. While some may debate the merits of going to “high tea”, it doesn’t have to be as stuffy and [...]

“Hardest for me to watch is the increasing silence. For the man who always had an opinion about everything and expressed it [...]

I admit it – I’m a country girl at heart. Yeah, I may love to escape to Philly every once in a while to hit the sushi restaurants and martini bars, but when it comes right down to it, country roads, open spaces and home-cooked meals feed my soul….Which is where the Country Cupboard comes [...]

As anyone who currently lives in Pennsylvania can attest, this has been one of the rainiest summers in recent memory. As a sun-worshiper, this doesn’t thrill me. But fortunately, there are still a ton of things to do in the Susquehanna River Valley despite the soggy weather. Here are a few suggestions…

Several weeks ago I was pondering what I’d be doing on my vacation…the beach?…the mountains? Since I’m  obsessed with fishing these first two ideas quickly flew though and out of my mind. I came up with a much better plan. It is a plan that I am now calling “2009 Fishapalooza Tour”. I know those [...]
