Harvest Festival Redux

It has been awhile since I posted anything on this blog - too much time spent on the cancelled-the-day-of ansonia Harvest festival. For the non-paid position of Chair of the Ansonia Cultural Commission, trying to put on the event with the pressures of satisfying all and pleasing none, I am happy that the event had to be cancelled the morning of...a lot of interference from the previous chair and others (EDC?). I am not unpleased that the event was cancelled so that the many changes from the previous can be addressed and fixed.

As chair of the Cultural Commission, I need to know; have the autonomy and authority to work these events as I see fit - or not. Maybe this unpaid chairman might move on...

Wordless Wednesday - Seymour Pink 5K

It's good to be back to the blog, last week my time was consumed for my running of the Ansonia Harvest Festival only to have to cancel it the day of the event on Saturday and spend today on refunds, etc. On the same day, the always lovely Patti participated with her cancer support group 'Circle of Friends' in the Pounding the Pavement for Seymour Pink 5K...her pictures were better than mine so here they are...see WW

Shadow Shot Sunday - Shadowy Route

It's Shadow Shot Sunday 2 time again. Last Sunday, we participated at the  CDR Wheel-a-Thon. This was a walk/roll benefit event for a cross-disability center for independent living. Held along Long Island Sound in West Haven CT, the day started cloudy, but in less than an hour, the southerly autumnal sun shone bright and warm (77°F / 25°C). Perfect day and route for shadows of course...taken by the always lovely Patti, one being Allegra walking past a spilled water bottle and goldenrod lining part of the route. Nice event, day and shadows. A nice trifecta :)

Wordless Wednesday - Wheel-a-Thon 2015

Yesterday was the Wheel-a-Thon to benefit the cross disability non-profit Center for Disability Rights in West Haven, CT. While it looks like I was leading, I was actually catching up to my team, Daughter Allegra poses and the Long Island Sound murk gave way to sunny skies...see WW

Ruby Tuesday Too - Ruby event

We look for ruby artifacts and such in homage to our favorite color for Ruby Tuesday Too. This view from yesterday was taken at 10th annual Wheel-A-Thon along Long Island Sound in West Haven Connecticut. This walk/roll is a benefit the nonprofit and cross-disability Center for Disability Rights. Red details abound in the signs, banners, flag and clothing. Here the singer sings the national anthem before the walkers and wheelchair rollers beginning their start along the course. This is a nice event for a nice cause and highlighting our favorite hue...
