About Peggy C ^club

And into 2024 we go!

2023 - hope this is a good year for us all .... it has started off very slowly in my corner of this World.

Getting older, as my Mom used to say, " isn't for sissies." As usual, Mom was right.

Just hope this gets better. I'm fine, but so many of my friends aren't and that puts me into a blue funk .. one day at a time.. one at a time..
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WE ARE ALL DIFFERENT, YET WE ARE MORE ALIKE IF YOU REALLY THINK ABOUT IT.

MY GOAL FOR THIS YEAR IS TO REMAIN WELL AND KEEP SAFE.
AND - SHOOT PHOTOS ..FROM THE SKY TO THE EARTH
AND
ALL IN BETWEEN



GOING OUT WITH MY CAMERA BRINGS ME JOY -- PERHAPS I LOCATE AN INSECT NOT SEEN BEFORE!

A LEAF -- A FLOWER -- ALL BEAUTY WILL BE ENJOYED.


Greetings from The Great State Of North Carolina USA - home ~


Been watching Song of the Mountains on PBS and have gotten hooked on some great musicians ... already found and enjoyed Balsam Range (with Mr. C)-- down the road in Mocksville (outside Winston-Salem NC) --- there are so many more ---,

Chatham County Line at The Haw River Ballroom in Saxapahaw NC -- a re-purposed Dye Mill on the Haw River --

and

David Holt with Josh Goforth ( hauled Pam J to that ) - also in The Haw River Ballroom -


update Mr C and I went to Paramount Theatre to see David Holt [storyteller and keeper of mountain music] and Josh Goforth [ Josh first saw David when David was invited to his middle school to talk about the mountain music and stories he was collecting.] Now, Josh is part of David's tours.. Check out his website --- full of interesting people !


The Historic Earle Theater in Mt Airy, NC .. enjoyed Flatt Lonesome [ have gotten tickets to see them again at a different area ]..

Canon PowerShot SX60 HS ---- a cool camera
Canon PowerShot SX40 HS ...



Keep Calm and Keep Shooting ~~~~ The Camera ~~~~~


Not sure how this wasn't added ! I am an NHL fanatic .. yes, in the true sense of the word.
Carolina Hurricanes are MY Team ! Kick pucks away from the net - cheer them on - complain about officiating - all that good stuff.

So - if you hear me --- it is Hockey Season

If you see a game on TV of the Carolina Hurricanes, it is LOUD.

Known as the Loudest Ice Hockey Arena in the NHL ..

Interests:

- from the Tao of Pooh, by Benjamin Hoff

"Tigger is all right really," said Piglet lazily.
"Of course he is," said Christopher Robin.
"Everybody is really," said Pooh. "That's what I think," said Pooh.
"But I don't suppose I'm right," he said.
"Of course you are," said Christopher Robin.

-- love Pooh and all his friends
-- come on by and we'll play 'Pooh Sticks' !

-- under a blue Carolina sky !

Favorite music and artists:

NC Bluegrass - Rock ( the old stuff - not anything now - am very picky - you get that way married to a radio person -

Mr. C is that radio person and this is what he's been working on - enjoy!

Brought up on Classical music - to Dad, if it wasn't Classical, it wasn't music ~

Middle Eastern Dance Music .. even Sting has a great song out ..


Love local / regional musicians -
Playing along with those who ask for some percussion -
Hand drums including dumbek, djembe and Frame Drum :)

Once in awhile, my self-taught guitarist son and I jam -- it is fun!

There are too many artists who create joy for us with their music to name them all ..

Y'all Come Back Anytime and Visit ..!

Favorite movies and actors:

The Paramount Theater - here in Central North Carolina - has twice given us the pleasure of the play " Always, Patsy Cline " - the actress playing Patsy Cline sounds like her. Closed my eyes and really expected to see Patsy when I opened them (even though Patsy is no longer on this Earth) - amazing talent, and she lives just a few miles away !

True Grit
The Burning Bed
9 To 5
Moulin Rouge
Fried Green Tomatoes

Favorite books and authors:

Somewhat varied --

Grandfather Tales

Firefox Series

Why Women Need Chocolate

The Healing Power of the Drum

God Save The Sweet Potato Queens


..my Digital Journey is here with our IMA family ..

Oh, I'm not a traveler -- but if you are traveling, leave me some space in your pocket or suitcase ... promise not to take up too much room.

That is the only way to get my World Travels in -- through your eyes and photos.

Ok, where are we going next?
