I’m pretty sure it’s real! The fire that Barb Gillespie danced with was easier to notice. Gyroscopic Belly Dancers are a trio of Floyd women — currently Shannon DiPietro, Barb Gillespie and Emily Williamson — who are “known for their unique choreography of fusion bellydance, combining Tribal, Caberet and Egyptian styles and a flair for […]
Dress rehearsal for the 7th annual Mardi Gras Costume Ball fundraiser for Blue Mountain School. It’s at Dogtown Roadhouse Saturday night and I hear they are serving Mardi Gras pizza. Check out the schedule on Facebook. Great bands and dancing in store.
You’d never know I got bit by a dog on the thigh/butt just a couple days before and that I was dancing (my ass off) on ibuprofen. I’m always surprised that I get any video clips taken when I’m so busy dancing or that any photos come out because the nightlife light is so low. […]
Yes, there were traffic jams with clowns in downtown Floyd for the 2015 Christmas Parade. There were also horses and tractors stopping traffic and dancing in the street. The horses with riders and those pulling buggies paraded down the middle of Locust and Main street. There was a birthday cake for Jesus float and another one carrying […]

My first thought when I woke up this Monday morning was ‘if I had a real job, I’d be calling in sick.’ I’m not really sick but am in recovery from an extra full fun weekend that included a PFLAG house party, dancing to rock and roll at Dogtown, fellowship and feasting at the Ceremonial […]

The video game character doesn’t express or contradict any part of my psyche, which is usually what I go for with my yearly Halloween get-ups. I’ve never even played a Mario video game (or any video game for that matter), but we got […]
Watching the chickens in their penned in yard is like watching Orange is the New Black, the award winning Netflix series about a woman’s prison. Like the women in prison, the hens have cliques and tend to stick with their own kind. The Rhode Island Reds, our youngest hens, joined the flock in the spring […]
Grandsons Bryce and Liam were good enough to lend Joe and me their hats so we could portray Mario and Luigi for Halloween. We put on a dress rehearsal with the only bad part being, it hurt like crazy when I pulled my mustache off. Last week my son Josh wrote on his Facebook Timeline: […]
Tom Phelps’ son Seth aptly coined the phrase “One of the Chiefs of our Tribe” to refer to his dad, who died on September 18th after a long struggle with cancer. On October 1st the community came out in droves – during a window of time before and after flooding rains – to celebrate Tom’s […]
When we were kids one of our favorite activities was going to the duck pond to feed the ducks with our uncle or our grandfather. While apple picking over the weekend, Joe and I and our grandsons fed the cows. Not because we wanted to but because they followed us through the open field, sometimes […]
