Stories at the River's Edge

Morning on the ridge, July 3, 6:00 am and I am on my way to work. I can never resist trying to photograph a sunrise. This one was much prettier than the photo.


After work, Larry and I drove across the Ohio River to meet with Meigs County storyteller Donna Wilson. We needed to work out the final details for the Stories at the River's Edge storytelling series set to begin next Wednesday July 11. We're ready to go with storytellers Suzi Whaples, Adele Browne, Donna and myself scheduled for one weekly performance each on both sides of the river during July, courtesy of an Ohio River Border Initiative grant.

What better place to meet than the Wild Horse Cafe, with its patio dining area overlooking the beautiful Ohio River. As we ate, we watched boys swinging from a rope swing on the WV side of the river. It looked like fun!

As the sun set, the river reflected the deep blue of the sky, absolutely a stunning sight.

On the way home, I tried to capture the lights at the Mountaineer Power Plant. The photo is blurry, but I kind of like it anyway.

A long day, but ending it with a friends, telling stories by the river, is about as good as it gets.
