Well, we've been living here exactly one year as of 8/2/2010 and are still loving it. We are so grateful to be living here surrounded by mountains and such beauty. Some of you know that we used to play Trivia at least once a week when we lived in Alpharetta, GA.....and we've been looking for Trivia here, karoke and open mic nights are much more popular. But, finally we found a place, Louie's, in downtown Ashland that has "Tuesday Night Trivia". What a blast!! Above is our team and friends......Ed and Lori Taylor. Yes, Ed does look like Santa........that's because he is !!! Each year he grows his beard and is the Ashland Santa Claus in our parade and lighting ceremony. He's the real deal !!
Another fabulous Green Show.........."Dance Kaleidoscope" from Indianapolis. Did I mention that we can see different great performers every evening (except Mondays) for free !!
One of the catagories at "Trivia" is "What Is It"........so play along.... can you guess what this is?? Give up yet? Well, it's a flowering artichoke and isn't it beautiful. Before they flower you can eat them, and we did, delicious and about 6-8 inches in diameter. I certainly have never seen an artichoke that big, nor the vibrant colored flower it creates. This beautiful artichoke plant is in our backyard and has 8 large purple blossoms on it.
Next one...."What Is It".......no guesses?.......c'mon........this sweet, gentle man whittles and sells magic sticks in Lithia Park. That's his cart filled to the brim with magic wands and spiritual sticks.....just in case you have a need for one.
