One of the most exciting events of the year that was scheduled for May 16 has been cancelled. The tournament that was scheduled is the Chamber of Commerce fund raising tournament. The event failed to get the response that was expected due to other tournaments that were scheduled during May. There are two other events scheduled during this time frame. So sorry that the $10,000 hole in one event is not to be. Maybe later in the year when there aren’t so many events on tap.

As soon as I sat on the seat, my stomach tried to head for the exit.

The Voice of Reason never whispered in my ear once that morning. Not even a simple, “Hey, maybe you want to research this first?” Perhaps because the Voice of Vanity kept drowning Reason out with her cooing, “Do it! You’ll both look soooooo cute!”

And that’s how I found myself perched in the middle of a kiosk at the mall with Daughter on my lap waiting for two women to punch holes in our heads.

We are fortunate to live in an area that is beautiful, rural and filled with little history gems. Although Tavern on the Rail seems to be far away from it all (thirty plus miles from Fluvanna), it is worth the lovely drive to dine in the Tavern’s quirky atmosphere and eat home cooked food at a modest price.

It was opening day at the Fluvanna Farmers Market on April 3. Once again the people of Fluvanna can buy truly locally grown fresh produce where the person they meet is the person who grew it. 
We are pretty strict about that. Co- manager Jutta Glasscock visits farms to be sure, if they say they grew it, they did!  We are unique among markets and CSA’s – where sometimes produce is purchased regionally for resale.
