picnic

this sunday at 4pm we are heading to Lemoines Point. they tell me it is a wonderful place to retreat to. it has water and surf and trees and bugs. sounds mostly good. this is an all ages affair and a low committed one as well. you need only bring your drinks and a salad to share. next is suppling all the grilled fare for us. bring a camera and your sense of fun as there will be games, rides and a special visit from our own the Amazing Gmagic-fun with fruit. he promises to entertain and dazzle.

so wipe the calendar clean and make your way out to the picnic. the three legged race starts around 5. show up at 4pm.

cedar

get out and support your local thespians. the young singers, dancers and actors take the rustle stage from thursday-saturday this week. the cost if five bucks. that is the same price as a la tee da tay at starbucks. so save your nervouse system and take in some homegrown talent.
