That’s where she finds the cool stuff.

The Workshops are fun… a communal dinner, followed by writing exercises and discussions of good writing, among other things.

And CCC is a lovely place to visit.  The Conserve is a wildlife refuge and land preserve surrounding an organic, sustainable farm operation.  Vegetables are grown in raised beds with natural fertilizers.DSCF6156DSCF6146DSCF6150DSCF6149

Teach Your Children Well*

DSCF6118

A young lady at the Bleu Pub asked the Old Lady: “Is your son in the band?”

She seemed bewildered to hear that the Old Lady has no children and just came to hear the music.

“Besides,” cackled the Old Lady, “it would be more like my GRANDson.”

Blindfish opened the set, and OMG are these kids young!  They all looked to the Old Lady to be no more than about twelve.  But man, can these boys play!

Blindfish

Their songlist ran heavily to the Beatles and Pink Floyd, and they do more than passable covers of songs that the Old Lady has loved for decades.  Fundamentals, she thought, tapping her foot.  It’s just like the scales and Broadway show tunes she started out with in elementary school band.  Learn well these old psychedelic rock licks, and let’s see where they go when they start to create their own music.  The Old Lady can hardly wait.

Matt Mullis

A word about lead guitar Matt Mullis: he put more energy into Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Freebird” than the Old Lady has heard live lately.  Watch this kid.

Balloon Assembly Line closed out the evening.   The Old Lady is keeping an eye on Kelby Clark as he produces fresh and new material every time she seems him.  The addition of Matt Mullis to the Balloon Assembly Lineup this night was particularly interesting.
The two cheap viagra major companies, Lipton and Pepsi have also included ginseng in their ingredients due to its long last effects. Breathing: Fresh air is vital to reversing ED and what better way to get more information about these generic soft viagra medicines. There are many herbal teas available, for instance chamomile tea or fennel cialis generic cheap tea. In fact, about 70% of all potency issues have organic online sildenafil india causes.
Fresh.  New.  This is what the Old Lady looks for in live music.  And that’s why she listens to kids who could easily be her grandchildren… if she’d ever gotten around to having any.DSCF6129

Oh, and a word about the Bleu Pub in downtown Valdosta, Georgia: what a great venue for these performances.  The wood-floor ceiling and distressed-brick walls give the place the comfortable feel of somebody’s basement rec room while concentrating the raw energy of these bands.   The place was crowded and not really conducive to photography, and frankly the Old Lady was tired and not feeling terribly conducive herself.  So, sorry, guys, no good pix.

Tellabration!

DSCF6089

Tellabration! is an annual world-wide storytelling event.  Every year on the Saturday before Thanksgiving storytellers gather in numerous places in many countries to spin their tales and listeners gather to appreciate this ancient art form.

In 2014 the town of Madison, Florida held its own event for the first time.  Local storyteller Wanda Violet pulled together the first local Tellabration! event and “B” O’Toole  of O’Toole’s Herb Farm provided the venue inside her Heartspace building.

The Old Lady does love a good story!  From the comedic origin of turkey dressing to a legend about a dragon who learns how stories can heal old enmities, the Old Lady took them all in with open-mouthed wonder.

She particularly enjoyed Mattie Ann Barnes and Abby Ratliff, both young local ladies who are beginners but who already “get” this storytelling business.

One of the major issues among so many today is viagra ordination sexual health of a person. In a perfect world, the mere cialis generic 10mg suggestion of sex would lead to an intense workout that left both partners feeling spent, sated and fulfilled.

Antibiotics purchase cialis like erythromycin, clarithromycin4. antifungal medications like itraconazole, fluconazole5. tuberculosis medications like rifabutin, isoniazid6. hepatitis C medications like telaprevir, boceprevir7.

A recommendation from the Old Lady:

If you are in the Valdosta, Georgia, area during December 2014 try to catch singer/guitar player Cindy Quick performing at Giulio’s Greek & Italian Restaurant which is located at 105 E. Ann Street near Valdosta State University.

Journey: A Place Oddity

Sometimes the Old Lady stumbles on the strangest things out there in the wide wonderful world.

For instance, this oddly twisted wooden structure.DSCF5939

Chewacla State Park in Alabama hosts a lot of mountain bikers.  They pedal the trails, up and down hills, but for the more daring there are several wooden rampways in the woods.DSCF5937DSCF5938

And since it was Halloween while the Old Lady was there, appropriate decorations had been created.DSCF5936

Before you indulge yourself in sexual buy cialis from canada activity, you need to repair the helicopter at home.

But the Old Lady’s favorite was the Flamingo Grove adjacent to the campground hosts’ site.DSCF5948

Journey: A Word About Camping

DSCF5961

The Old Lady likes camping in state parks.

But she certainly has her preferences.

A word about gravel: UGH.  A lot of state parks now have gravel pads for tent campers, and signs forbidding placing a tent anywhere but on the gravel pad.

I hope that Google Caffeine brings value to cheapest viagra generic the good webmasters who vouch for good, and original content. The price rises with each dosage and with each pill pdxcommercial.com viagra samples pack (30, 60, and 90). These have an impact but the latest research in neuroscience shows that the brain is more malleable buy cheap levitra you could try here than was previously thought, even in adults. The heavy usage of alcohol sildenafil overnight even though getting any PDE-5 inhibitor must be avoided due to the fact it may possibly intensify the aspect side effects. If you’ve ever slept in a tent on gravel, you know what this means.  If you haven’t, don’t try it.  Listen to the Old Lady!

Kudos to Rickwood Caverns State Park just north of Birmingham, Alabama, for its tent area.  No gravel, just a lovely leaf-covered landscape.DSCF5962

Oh, and the other thing the Old Lady prefers: weekday camping.  Fewer campers, less noise, more solitude.

Journey: A Beginning

The Old Lady embarked on a journey.

She did have a destination in mind; she wanted to get to Memphis, Tennessee, to see her late sister’s children.

But she didn’t know how long she would be gone, or what route exactly that she would take.  She started up through Georgia with the intention of doing some mystery shopping jobs in Columbus, Georgia and Auburn, Alabama.  She knew she would camp along the way, and that the first campsite would be at Chewacla State Park just south of Auburn.DSCF5932What fine fall weather for camping!  Warm enough to enjoy days outdoors, and cool enough at night to make a campfire both pleasant and needful.DSCF5934

Just sitting in a campsite during the daytime has its delights.  The Old Lady heard a rustle.  Something skittered.  Then another.  CHIPMUNKS!DSCF5940

A whole scurry of chipmunks came through the woods, apparently foraging.  They were spaced among the trees, each little hunter-gatherer on his own track as they moved from north to south.

The erectile dysfunction can buy sildenafil cheap be diagnosed with Duplex ultrasound, Dynamic infusion cavernosometry, Corpus cavernosometry, Magnetic resonance angiography, Nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT), penile biothesiometry.

A while later, the scurry moved back south to north, and each chipmunk looked as though it had the mumps.  Their cheek pouches were full of their findings and they were headed back to the den.DSCF5944

These are some of the things the Old Lady loves to find while traveling, woodland creatures and natural wonders.

But she likes to find man-made wonders, too… oddities along the journey.

Okefenokee

DSCF5816

There is no wilderness left in the state of Georgia; about the closest you can come to it is the Okefenokee Swamp.  Even the Swamp is more woods than wilderness.  Having been thoroughly logged out in the early part of the 1900s, what is now seen is regrowth from that harvest.DSCF5842DSCF5830

The Old Lady prefers to enter the Swamp at Stephen Foster State Park, 17 miles up a lonely highway from the nearest town (Fargo).  Once in the park, you don’t have to go far to see wildlife!DSCF5814DSCF5815DSCF5861However, a short canoe ride reveals more                                                                                                              of the Swamp’s beauty.DSCF5836DSCF5824DSCF5828DSCF5831DSCF5833DSCF5847
