wednesday's words and wanderings and wonderings

The river fountains...I just love them. It’s a magical moment, strolling through RiverScape or Deeds Point MetroPark in downtown Dayton at the exact moment the fountains turn on and perform their spectacular show.

Friday evening we attended a free concert featuring the REO Classics Band with Terry Luttrell, the original lead singer of REO Speedwagon and Michael Mesey, longtime drummer for Chuck Berry. It was a lovely evening to be outside listening to music but Terry Luttrell is in his mid-70s (at least) and his voice showed its age. A few songs were only instrumental to give the guy a break, but when he sang "Time for Me to Fly," everybody sang, and we sounded good! That Bernese mountain dog was a real sweetheart, too.

Libraries are touting their summer reading programs. These are so beneficial to prevent learning loss, to improve reading skills, and encourage a lifelong love of learning. I took my children to this library when they were young. Back in their day the children's librarian was Mrs. Mummey and all the kiddos called her Mrs. Mommy.

It's that time of year to be back working at my friend's farmer's market. There are a lot of herbs to sell so I made an herb display. Do you see what I did? 😊 Wonder if the Millennials and Gen Zers get it.
