ActiveRain March Challenge: Life Lessons from ParentsPatricia Feager and Lew Corcoran are the hosts for the "March 2025 ActiveRain Challenge: Sharing the Gift of Who You Are." The ActiveRain challenge is to share the profound impact someone had on you in shaping you to who you are today.During this second week of the ActiveRain March Challenge, my thoughts turn to the life lessons I learned from my parents. When we are young, we sometimes have no idea of the impact that the actions of our parents will have on our lives as adults.Yesterday, I received this email comment from my younger sister, Wynne Roos: "I learned from Daddy's example of being kind and friendly to everyone he encountered.

A Waffle StoryChef Dolores made some delicious waffles using the Park City Kodiak Cakes Power Cakes Flapjack & Waffle Mix which is one of her favorites. This is an item that we find at Costco.However, the real story is that the waffle iron that she uses was given to us as a wedding gift in June, 1965. I think you will agree that the General Electric Automatic Grill Waffle Baker Maker has been a reliable product. Spiderwort, Kentlands Photowalk, Gaithersburg, Maryland USA IMG 5484Canon PowerShot G11 CameraPhotograph by Roy KelleyRoy and Dolores Kelley Photographs

“Red Herring” at the Arts Barn in Kentlands In partnership with The Montgomery PlayhouseBy Michael Hollinger Three love stories, a murder mystery, and a nuclear espionage plot converge in this noir comedy about marriage and other explosive devices. It’s 1952: America’s on the verge of the H-bomb, Dwight Eisenhower’s on the campaign trail, and “I Love Lucy’s” on Monday nights. Meanwhile, Senator Joe McCarthy’s daughter just got engaged to a Soviet spy, and Boston detective Maggie Pelletier has to find out who dumped the dead guy in the Harbor—or else lose out on a honeymoon in Havana. A blunt-nosed, sharp-eyed look at love and tying (and untying, and retying) the knot.Recommended for ages 15 & up.Online ticket sales end two hours prior to performance. Tickets may also be purchased in per...

The Beginning of a HobbyPatricia Feager, ABR,CRS,GRI,MRP asked how I got started in photography.When I was in high school, a relative recommended the purchase of an exellent camera. Then, I joined the camera club at the high school and learned how to develop photographs. In those days, the 50's, black and white photographs and 35 mm cameras were the standard.A friend and I decided to create our own darkroom and we got permission to use a room in a commercial building owned by my parents. We purchased military surplus film and rolled our own supplies for our cameras. We became very active photographers. I even took prom photographs.When I went off to college, in 1955, at the University of Virginia, I joined the camera club there and continued with my photography as one of my active inter...
