I think there are fewer things more pleasant than strolling on a balmy summer evening. So it was when we went to the Grange Fair Thursday night. There’s also a palpable excitement in the crowd. Is this what draws people to fairs, and what has for so long? We were very hungry, arriving about 7 [...]

As I sit here writing, appropriately in my kitchen, I look out into my backyard and see the buds on the rhododendron. It’s sunny – for a change – and I’m seeing lots of green. I’m quite amazed, in fact, at the amount of green – chartreuse, really – that I see on my neighbors’ [...]

The Middletown Grange Fair – which actually takes place in Wrightstown – opens today and continues through Sunday. If you’ve never been, well, you just need to go. It’s hard to describe. For this former city girl, it’s a wonder. It’s one of the reasons to live in Bucks County, as far as we’re concerned. [...]
Actually, no. It turns out that May is National Barbecue Month. I guess there was some other major event being celebrated on July 4th so they decided it wouldn’t be appropriate.

Even more tedious than the constant rain is talking about the constant rain. So, with a typical summer forecast for this weekend – chance of thunderstorms – let’s move on. Time to take Dad out for some fun this weekend – and food and wine. There are three venues doing wine-related events this weekend. On [...]

We brought our Flip to the Wrightstown Farmer’s Market on its opening a day a couple of weeks ago, because we figured the best way to get a feel for the market was to hear from the vendors themselves.

My apologies for getting the weekend run-down up so late. Blame it on a “weak” signal from Comcast. [Yes, I actually lived a day without internet access…and survived. The nervous tic should go away in a day or so.] But I had a fun afternoon yesterday interviewing Patty and Brian Gianfelice at Pasqualina’s Italian Market in [...]
