Dinner Theatre

It was so fun to see a show at the dinner theatre this weekend. If you have one nearby I encourage you to attend a show. In some cases dinner is optional, but why not eat and enjoy great entertainment at the same time? It's like having cake…

Beat this - Beet Salad!

This Beet Salad is hard to beat! It has a lot of rhythm to it too! (Just teasing, I had to say that part about rhythm because this blog is mainly about music.)  I was sugar deprived (thankfully now) when I was a kid and I used…

Chamber of Commerce - Ribbon Cutting
