Watching these young people sing and dance their little hearts out is more than nostalgic for me.
Throwback Thursday [Photo gallery]
For those of you who don’t spend endless mind-numbing hours online (like me), it’s a thing. So much so that it’s even made it to The Google. “Throwback Thursday is an … more

As usual, Dharma the Wonder Dog received the royal treatment at the Willow Wisp Farm last weekend as the River Reporter’s newest staff member Liam Mayo chauffeured my pup through the flower fields.
A rose by any other name…
The following is an excerpt from a blurb that caught my eye online a few weeks ago: “Join us on Saturday, June 26 at 7:30 p.m. at Farm Arts Collective (FAC) for a magical midsummer night of … more

New York and Pennsylvania are peppered with gorgeous lakes, ponds and streams, not to mention our glorious river, so be smart, be safe and enjoy all that summer has to offer.
Welcome to the neighborhood
It’s hard to believe that summer is already upon us, especially for those of you who are new to the region and thought that winter would never end. On the flip side, spring was particularly … more

Even though the place was brimming over with folks who can see into the future, no one predicted that I'd leave without getting a reading at the psychic fair I attended last weekend.
Murphy’s Law
If you haven’t heard of the old adage, it’s fairly simple, straightforward and to the point: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.” I’m not sure that … more

The Livingston Manor Flower Day sounded appealing, promising shops selling potted plants and flowers, not to mention a bake sale hosted by the Livingston Manor High School Class of 2023.
How does your garden grow?
The above title refers to an old nursery rhyme, which reads like this: “Mary, Mary, quite contrary, how does your garden grow? With silver bells and cockleshells and pretty maids … more

We stopped a few times to snap photos and drink in the excess of chlorophyll that beckoned ‘round every curve in the road.
How green was my valley?
As it happens, pretty darn green. Truthfully, I’m not a big fan of the color, except where nature is concerned. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, and so many hues to choose from. … more

I’m fairly sure that the ornate frames are a part of Plumadore’s artistic vision, and that one could view his pieces grouped from a distance or individually.
Just call me artsy-fartsy
For those of you new to the area, have no fear. Art is alive and thriving here in the mountains. Granted, none of us have been visiting galleries recently, but they dot the landscape throughout the … more

As a bonus, I’ve developed a new skill and mastered shaving with one working eye in no time at all, so I took a selfie to prove it.
If my friends could see me now
For something completely different, I’m having issues. This time, it’s my eyes, which is “serious, and nothing to fool around with” according to my ophthalmologist, as if I … more

“Just before COVID hit,” my friend Les Kristt had written as a caption online for this photo taken just over a year ago. There I was, pictured at the Kartrite Resort and Water Park with the Wonder Dog at my side, celebrating something-or-other with a group of pals that included Gary Siegel, left, Shane Merone, Barbi Neumann Marty and Les. Little did we know.
Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes…
“Five hundred twenty-five thousand moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes—how do you measure, measure a year?” Those words were written and … more

"Modern glitter is usually manufactured from plastic and is rarely recycled, leading to calls from scientists for bans on plastic glitter.”
All that glitters…
I was slightly nervous about going in for a COVID-19 test. Even though I had no reason to suspect that I might have contracted the dreaded virus, my doctor recommended it as “a matter of … more

Dharma loves romping in the snow and I love seeing her happy, so there’s that.
What a difference a day makes
It’s Monday, as I write this, and it’s snowing out there. I mean really, really snowing. Wasn’t it just last week that I was extolling the power of positive thinking and crowing … more

“Retail therapy really can help you feel better,” I read gleefully, “as long as you don’t overspend.” Uh oh.
Retail therapy
I can’t recall exactly when I first heard the term “retail therapy,” but I do know who said it. It was my friend, Robin, who—along with her mother, Rosalie—owned a … more

I eagerly anticipate finding and photographing the psychic woolly bear every year. This one was particularly fuzzy. Uh oh.
Red sky at night...
We’ve all heard it bandied about: “Red sky at night, sailor’s delight; red sky at morning, sailors take warning,” but is there any validity to the old proverb? According to … more

It's not the first time (don't judge!) that my dog and I have matching Hanukkah outfits, and it won't be the last.
Let there be light
With what turned out to be a fairly weird Thanksgiving behind us, and what could easily be a bizarre Christmas and Kwanzaa ahead, here comes Hanukkah, hot on their heels. The Festival of Lights … more

Did I really look like this when I stepped of a bus in New York City, ready to take Broadway by storm? Good question.
Good question...
Am I the only one who lies awake in the pre-dawn hours, fidgeting, worrying, tossing and turning? These days, I have more questions than answers and I’m upset more often than not. I’m … more

“If I don’t care about myself enough to stop smoking,” I thought, “I can’t keep doing it to her.”
Up in smoke
Three years ago today, I sat on the edge of my bed at five o’clock in the morning gasping for air, unable to breathe, absolutely sure that I was about to die. Seriously, I did not think I would … more

You can't see her in this photo, but the dog is growling at the virtual cat that just sidled out of view as the virtual fire crackles and glows in my living room.
Gimme a break
They say that “timing is everything.” I’m unsure who “they” are, and even though I made a somewhat feeble attempt to find the answer to that burning question, I came up … more

The kids (participating in the fall workshop at the Forestburgh Playhouse) were fantastic, lifting my spirits with their talent, their spirit and their resilience in the face of a global pandemic. For more photos of these and other events, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and Instagram, and visit www.riverreporter.com.
Oops, I did it again
And by “it” I mean ventured out into the world, which is still a little bit scary—and a little bit spooky, just in time for Halloween. Suddenly and without warning, last … more

Good friends Ryan and Nicole drove to New York (in the biggest pickup truck I’ve ever seen) all the way from Texas to visit with my dog and do a leaf-peeping tour of the eastern seaboard. Oh, right, I saw them, too.
The autumn leaves…
For something completely different, I’m feeling slightly pensive, a little wistful—maybe even downright maudlin. But it’s temporary (I hope) and has a name. Autumn. To the best of … more

I’ll miss roaring fires outside at Camp Fox but anticipate snuggling up indoors by the hearth, Wonder Dog at my feet.
See you in September
And just like that, summer draws to a close. Oh, sure, officially it ain’t over until September 22, but we in the Upper Delaware River region know it’s all downhill from here. And by … more
