I am ooking forward to meeting history buffs, generally interested people, and friends at the Lakewood Film, Art and Book Fest. But Hey, give me a break. I look much better than the picture recently published in Suburban Times. Below, I am in the Pioneer Mother dress I wear for these presentations. Much better, right? […]
To Do
Susanne Bacon Reads at the Topside Coffee Cabin
Why does somebody in Wycliff deposit vintage jewelry in the museum curator’s front yard? How can that very same small museum accept a huge inheritance of exhibits without going bust either in space or debt? And what does the Topside Coffee Cabin in Steilacoom have to do with all of this? Why don’t you come […]
Lakewood Elections Thus Far
Election season is upon us. The yardsigns have been up for two months cluttering up our city, and candidates are deluged with mail about ‘great deals’ on buying those yardsigns. We are into primary season. 15 years ago the State Legislature, ahem, decreed that a ‘Top Two Primary’ would make things so much easier. The […]
Susanne Bacon Reads at The Sock Peddlers
Do you have ample summer vacation time, and are you looking how to fill some of it with something fun? Then don’t look any further, for as of Wednesday morning next week your Wednesday mornings in four consecutive weeks might be covered.

The Producers – Lakewood Playhouse Musical Review
I’ve re-read favorite books; watched favorite films over and over again; and watched back to back musicals. Why not? People listen to the same music all the time. Musical comedy is a double plus with music and comedy acting together. Mel Brooks says the essence of comedy is anticipation and payoff. That’s why people can […]
Having a Ball With Yarns
Dyed in the wool knitters and crocheters will have been waiting for one of the events in the Western Washington yarn world to cool their itching fingers: the PNW Yarn Crawl. As in past years, one of the hotspots will be in the middle of Lakewood: The Sock Peddlers at the Colonial Center. Kathy and […]
Susanne Bacon Reads at the Topside Coffee Cabin
How about grabbing a cup of coffee or tea and something yummy to munch, while listening to a couple of chapters from my latest book? No, at the Topside Coffee Cabin on Wednesday, April 17, I won’t read from a Wycliff novel, but from my brand-new book “Home from Home”, which was originally published as […]
