The Good Kind of Corona

Sounds of the Shore

One night last summer, obviously before COVID-19 hit, I was walking down 96th Street when I bumped into a piano-playing, singing buddy of mine by the name of Roy McCutchen.

Outdoor Entertaining: Wake Up & Smell the Strawberries

Happy summer, all! After an unreasonably cold spring, we sure are due for some summer sunshine to warm our shoulders and brighten our moods. I love opening the door to a bright sunny morning inviting me to a walk through my garden with the promise of a new day’s surprises – the strawberries that ripened overnight, the cucumber that appeared like delicious summer magic; it really is the best part of the day.
