Bravo, Susan Johnson
The Friends of the Vineyard Haven Public Library are presenting an exhibit of landscape studies by painter Susan Johnson. The exhibit will be on display during regular library hours throughout the month of August as part of its Art in the Stacks initiative.
Improv Campers Perform
The results of Imp Camp will be on display once again today beginning at noon at the Edgartown School.
For those out of the loop, Imp Camp is an improv retreat for kids under 18 where they not only learn the craft, they take it to the stage. How’s that for hands-on camping?
Today’s performance includes songs from the Lion King, scenes from All I Needed to Know I Learned in Kindergarten, My Homework, and Bears, Beware; Goldilocks Is in Your Town.
There is yoga on the Vineyard and then there is yoga on the Vineyard. It really is an embarrassment of suppleness. Each week a host of talented teachers conduct classes and workshops in almost every nook and cranny of the Island. Add to this the periodic washing ashore of talented teachers from the “real world.”
Flashback a bit more than a decade ago to Union Theological Seminary in New York city where Cathlin Baker and Raphael Warnock were a couple of seminary students, studying and playing pool together at the seminary pub. Today they are, respectively, the pastors at the West Tisbury Congregational Church on Martha’s Vineyard and the Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, the former home church of Rev. Martin Luther King Sr., “Daddy King,” and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
It’s all about the flowers and greens when Jessica Harris goes to the West Tisbury Farmers’ Market. The James Beard Award winner has a routine of navigating the stalls at the old Grange Hall every week, and Wednesday morning was no different.
First stop was to flower farmer Krishana Collins. Ms. Collins greeted her like an old friend.
Change Is Coming
West Tisbury summer resident Jill Shaw Ruddock’s new best-selling book The Second Half of Your Life is part self-help book, part scientific treatise. It takes readers into the world of menopause and afterwards and argues successfully, in case anyone actually wondered, that there is indeed life after “the change.” But see for yourself.
