Peg and I used to enjoy the plays at Harlequin reaching back nearly twenty years. We loved the dramatic productions as well as the musical revues and combinations like Rock N Roll Twelfth Night. Over the last few years we have been viewing more Seattle and Tacoma area live productions. It was nice renewing our […]
Heathers: The Musical – Review
At intermission my sister Deedee, my wife Peg, and I stood up and just looked at each other. We had just seen teenage drunkenness, sex, and murder on stage and had no idea where the second act would lead us. At the end of the play we were all chattering away about the actors, the […]
A Second Home in Downtown Puyallup – ABNB
We’ve stayed at a local B&B in Puyallup as well as three different hotels. We enjoyed each one for multiple reasons. Now, we have connected with an ABNB (Air BnB) apartment in downtown Puyallup close to Pioneer Park and two of our favorite restaurants: West Pioneer Grill and Giorgio’s Greek Café. We’ll be booking the […]
Tibbitts @ Fern Hill Restaurant Review
I was reading the Seattle Times. Peg was eating breakfast. The phone rang. It was our friend Dennis Flannigan inviting us to join him for lunch. Peg couldn’t make it but I said yes and asked, “Where and when.” Denny answered, “Tibbitts at 11:45.” I replied, “Tibbitts at Fern Hill? Why?” I knew Tibbitts, but […]
Impressionists at the Tacoma Art Museum
Peg and I went to the Tacoma Art Museum in great anticipation. The entrance to the lobby with its glass clouds of white and watery blue just scream Tacoma, Washington. We both love the works of the French Impressionists. This exhibit had Canadian and American impressionists as well. Our son Del joined us half-way through […]
Spanky Burger & Brew Salads Restaurant Review
One of my favorite, friendly dining restaurants is Spanky Burger & Brew at Sixth and Pine in the Sixth Avenue Business District of Tacoma (601 S Pine St, Tacoma, WA 98405). We’re always greeted with a smile. We haven’t tried their brews, but we’ve certainly tried out their burgers. We usually opt for a salad […]
Anthony's All You Can Eat Prawns – Restaurant Review
It was almost five and it was nearly dark when I parked our car and we walked into Anthony’s at Pt. Defiance (5910 N Waterfront Dr, Tacoma, WA 98407). “Two for dinner?” The young, very young hostess greeted us. An hour earlier Peg had asked about going to dinner. My head popped up from my […]
Service with a Smile
The last time my cousin Chuck Whitworth was in town, Peg and I treated him and my sister Deedee to dinner at Joeseppi’s. They had driven from Detroit hauling furniture for Chuck’s sister Lindy and her husband in their move to Lakewood. I think we also treated Chuck and his friend, Peggy to dinner at […]
Katie Downs for New Year's Day Lunch and the Rose Bowl – Restaurant Review
My wife Peg and I had missed a New Year’s Eve game night with friends, but a New Year’s Day celebration of lunch at Katie Downs almost made up for it . . . almost, but we did miss our friends. The large screen TV broadcasting the Rose Bowl with me only three feet away […]
