The Postscript: Riding Together

Body
My husband, Peter, and I are at my parents’ cabin in the woods. The weather was perfect for a bike ride, so we took a long one. We had not all been riding together in almost two years, and I am not an experienced rider. So, in order to prevent my butt from getting sore, I have a big, soft seat on my bicycle. My mother, an avid cyclist, does not approve.

She and George recently visited Plymouth, Massachusetts, with Jim and Lauren Haley after watching the Haley’s son, James, perform in a Blue Angels show in Maine.

River Valley Pioneer Museum | Canadian, Texas

Body
Next week, the Canadian Arts Alliance is presenting their annual dinner theatre performance in the museum’s gallery room. If you haven’t seen the flyer yet, check out it out. I look fabulous in it! This is the second time the CAA has held their dinner theatre in the museum, and it’s the second time I have participated as a cast member. Both of my characters have been “hot messes,” so I’m not sure if I’m being typecast or if acting like a hot mess comes naturally to me. Either way, I have had lots of fun.

Celebrating Constitution Week

Body
In 1955, the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution petitioned Congress with a resolution, which was signed into law by President Dwight D. Eisenhower on Aug. 2, 1956. Since that time, Constitution Week (Sept. 17-23) has been observed as a time to celebrate the foundation of the American form of government. On Sept. 18, members of Canadian’s Comancheria Chapter, NSDAR, attended the Constitution Week Luncheon in Amarillo, hosted by the Esther McCrory Chapter, NSDAR. WTAMU history professor Dr. Timothy Bowman spoke on the “200th Anniversary of the Santa Fe Trail.” Pictured above are Comancheria Chapter members Jeri Pundt, Pam Hill, Chuck Hartline, Phoebe Hartline, Marilee Wright, Deborah Dickinson, and Shawna Ditmore.
