Real Life A Baby Boomer in Appalachian
Charlie’s Mid-Century
Every so often as Queen of the Barn, I issue decrees. This weekend was one of the most important, Charlie’s 50th birthday party. On such an auspious occassion, I threw our friends together….the ballroom dancers, the bar room dancers, and our old friends from college. It made for a lively evening.
The band, Rook, kept the dance floor crowded with tunes from the days of our misspent youth. We boogied, we ate , we sipped a few, and we laughed a lot.
I’d like to tell you more and post some fabulous pictures of the crowd….but as the saying goes…..”What goes on in the barn….stays in the barn.”
So after a weekend of a milestone birthday party, out of town friends staying over as guests, and of course the Easter holiday….I am tired and my feet hurt.
And so, I Joyce, Queen of Barn, declare a holiday from blogging …so I can catch my breathe.
For you “foodies” if you look in the background of this photo, you might see a familiar face pouring wine for the band. I’m just kidding….or am I?
Have no fear, Meatless Monday will return next week, and on Wednesday I’ll be back to a normal routine.
Well, as “normal” as one can get when one has delusions of being Queen, when in reality I just live in a barn.
Happy Monday….and Rock On!

My Purse…Getting to the Bottom of Things
I live in a barn and cook up a storm. I am not a debutante. I have hot flashes. I garden in red high heels. I like fat rascals, tea, and bourbon. Welcome to Friends Drift Inn!
Joyce ~ this looks like a FABULOUS PARTY!!! you know how to throw one girl – i’ll bet the Kentucky Derby is an all-out bash!
Kentucky Derby Day is a mixture of events for me. Woman’s club has a bruncheon and fashion show….then in the afternoon we have a very casual family friendly grill out back at the barn with just a few friends. Derby Day was a big deal when I was a kid, and I want that memory for all the nieces, nephews, and cousins kids.
