WEAR SENSIBLE SHOES! Sorry for yelling but this alone can save the day. I see a lot of unhappy people each year because they did not heed this grandmotherly advice. Friday Food is a big part of Bridge Day and it starts Friday night with the Taste of Bridge Day. It’s sponsored by the rotary […]
How To
The Secret to Father’s Day
I have a father, I am a father, and I know this to be true. Dads only want one thing for Father’s Day! No ties, no tools, no new shirt, no gift certificate, no fishing tackle (well, maybe.) All your dad wants for Father’s Day is your time. Not a whole weekend at a cabin […]
Whitewater Wonderland
Epic, never seen before WHITEWATER WONDERLAND. Everyone has more whitewater than they know what to do with. What they don’t have is a quiet, cozy cabin tucked in the woods, and our inside info on how best to handle it. Don’t get me wrong, this Gauley River rafting season is going to be epic. More […]
We Give Good Phone

You Are Leaving? So SOON?
“Honey, I am leaving!” “Again? So soon?” (with glee in his voice). “We will miss you, have fun.” Because if Momma ain’t happy, nobody’s happy! Groups fill The Meadows for lots of reasons. One of the best reasons is Boys or Girls Club Weekends. That’s our nickname for vacations where groups of gals or guys […]
Consumed, Devoured, Hit by a Train, Chewed Up, Spit Out, and Left for Dead
And that was from the family reunion, not the “Derecho” storm! About the derecho – we suffered no damage from the storm at the Cabins or our home. Our neighbors and friends were not so lucky. We were without power for 8 days, but everything is back to “normal”. The family reunion was a huge […]

This is not unusual behavior; it’s just that this time, the zeal my family is demonstrating at this point in the planning has caught me off guard.
