Look For Joy In The Small Moments
Look For Joy In The Small Moments
There was a time we would have talked about current events. Dad and I would have imagined what the World Series would have been like if the Phillies had made it. We would have laughed together over New Yorker cartoons, snacked on cashews, and listened to Boz Scaggs. 12/05/2023 11:00 PM

Holiday Travel Can Be Safe And Enjoyable
Hearing the refrain from “Over the River and Through the Woods” may evoke Norman Rockwell style memories of visiting grandparents over the holiday season. These days, however, Grandma and Grandpa are just as likely to do the traveling as their younger relatives. 12/05/2023 11:00 PM

Christmas Parade Season Starts
Christmas Parade Season Starts
The Christmas parade season got underway over the weekend in the Rockbridge area. Because of the way the calendar fell this year, it was Lexington, not Buena Vista as usual, that hosted the first parade of December. Lexington’s parade, sponsored by Main Street Lexington, took place in rainy conditions, but that didn’t stop a large crowd from turning out for the event Friday night. The weather had cleared by Saturday afternoon when the Glasgow parade, sponsored by the Glasgow Lifesaving and First Aid Crew, rolled through the streets of the town. These photos are from those two parades. Check out next week’s paper for photos from the Buena Vista parade coming up Thursday night, the Fairfield parade on Friday night and the Goshen parade on Saturday.
