Three hours after my colonoscopy (which was all good, yay!!!), this is what I’m doing. Going into the scary crawl space to look for frozen pipes. We were doing so well till that last -5 degree drop on Sunday morning. 😭😭😭. But hopefully getting up to 37 today will help. (Oh and no burst pipes so far. 🤞🤞🤞)

Thanks to everyone for coming out tonight and thanks to my partners in crime, Elizabeth Haigh and Kate Snyder!! It was a privilege to work on this project, and I’m so proud of what these young artists created. Thanks to the Boyle County Public Library and the National Endowment for the Arts for making it possible. Not the best photos with my aging phone but lots of heart. ❤️

My dear friend, Zoe just found this in a box of old Christmas cards. I mean….wow!?!?! 🥹 Seems like only yesterday. (Although I’ll be honest and say that the whole first year of being a twin mom is kind of a blur!!!) 🤪🤯❤️❤️❤️ #tbt

Please join me tonight! It’s a closing reception rather than an opening reception bc everyone was so crazed before Christmas! Light snacks will be served btw 6:30-7:30 at the library! And then…poof!… this super cool sound exhibit created by Danville and Boyle County kids and funded by the NEA will be gone! B there or b square! 😘

Today I joined with fellow Kentucky arts supporter

Today I joined with fellow Kentucky arts supporters from across the commonwealth at the state capitol to celebrate and advocate for arts funding!! Thanks to Lindy Casebier, Secretary of Tourism, Arts & Heritage Cabinet, for all he does, and thanks to legislators like Rep Daniel Elliott for meeting with us and listening. Why do arts matter in KY? Take a look at the arts facts…we give a lot while getting a lot less compared with other states. Thanks to Kentuckians for the Arts and the Kentucky Arts Council for bringing us all together! If you want to find out how you can help statewide, go to kyfta.wildapricot.org or donate to your local arts organization!!! #kfta #kac #kentuckiansforkentucky #kentuckiansforthearts #pioneerplayhouse #teamkentucky

Hey, y’all!!! Look what you can get after January

Hey, y’all!!! Look what you can get after January 16!!! A Kentuckians for the Arts license plate!!!! Unveiled at Kentucky Arts Day at the capitol today!

Happy Birthday to this adorable little girl who grew up to become an accomplished singer and pianist, a farmer, a play producer, a mom who raised 4 kids to follow their dreams. My sweet but tough mama has been the heart and soul and the backbone of Pioneer Playhouse for seven decades. Her strength and determination continue to inspire me every day. ❤️
