Ridge Spring News
Harriet Householder
The Fallaw Farm has fresh asparagus at their farm and at the Nut House and Country Store. Spring is in the air.
The Friends of Ridge Spring met Thursday at town Hall. The report of the Quilting
on the Ridge showed that it was a very
successful weekend for our town. The event was sponsored by FORS who paid for
the quilt to be raffled, advertising, and the bags and the water to go into the
bags. Noel Steele gave an important financial report. The event made a small profit for the group. There
are 6 events sponsored by FORS and two sponsored by Magnolia Ridge. This helps to attract visitors to our area. Mayor
Pat Asbill told us of a wonderful book written by James Scott who is the son of
Mac and Rosa Johnson. He is a Lt. Colonel in the Army and is
stationed in Korea now. He will be
returning this summer and we hope to
have a book signing event. His book is
inspiring.
The
work on the renovation of the Town Plaza is getting closer.
The
large oak trees report: The one closest
to the Gazebo is hallow and the other two are greatly compromised. They will have to be replaced.
New
parking spaces will be added, with paver bricks and pavement. Plans are at town hall.
These
plans are being financially supported by the Town, Saluda County and the Upper
Savannah.
The
plans are designated phase one, phase two, and finally phase three..

Review from
David Marshall James: (Lucille Ball died 30 years ago, this April 26th. Here's Lucy, in a rerun of James's review of
a 2017 memoir.)
"Lucy Loved Me:
A Memoir" by Paula Stewart
"John Huston sent me
a case of this Mayacamas wine as an apology for the hot-tub incident.
Today, each bottle is worth more than $400."
"I loved this gold
Oscar de la Renta given to me by Zsa Zsa Gabor. Of course, it needed
major alterations."
"The gold deco-jade
and sapphire bracelet given to me by the Duchess of Windsor. Burt and I
spent many evenings performing for the Duke and Wallis."
Such captions-- and this
volume is liberally illustrated with private photos-- set the tone and the tenor for a delicious East &
West Coast dish (it's no surprise that the author is a gourmet cook-- Lucille
Ball loved her spaghetti sauce, secret ingredient: anchovies).
It's as spicy as a bowl
of chili from Chasen's, as tangy as a slice of grapefruit cake from The Brown
Derby, and as lip-smacking as a plate of ribs from P.J. Clarke's.
The author first
encountered Lucy when the recently divorced, between-TV-series star cast her as
her younger sister in the Broadway show "Wildcat" (1960), otherwise
famous for its showstopper, "Hey, Look Me Over."
Thus began a 30-year bond
that saw them through a panoply of respective highs and lows, all highlighted
in this remembrance. In addition to her stage, TV, and film performances,
the blonde beauty Stewart was wed (before his 1960s hits with lyricist Hal
David) to musician/songwriter Burt Bacharach, then later to comedian Jack
Carter.
Stewart admits to
kaputting her marriage to Bacharach, although they have remained friends, and
she laments her many bad 'n' sad times with Carter.
Well, Lucy did warn her
about him. Nevertheless, the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Carter stood up with
Lucy and comedian Gary Morton when they were wed by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale at
the Marble Collegiate Church in New York City, 1961.
Although Stewart set Lucy
up with second husband Morton, she never expected Lucy to marry him. Boy,
does the author evermore let into Morton in this memoir. She doesn't just
throw shade; she stages a total eclipse.
Lucy's followers won't be
surprised when Stewart states that Lucy never stopped loving first husband Desi
Arnaz, whom she finally felt compelled to divorce because of his out-of-control
womanizing and drinking.
As for the redheaded icon, she has seldom
been presented so glowingly, by such an affectionate friend, in a memoir that's
a must-read for her fans.
Harriet's Garden Tips: Spring is in the air. One of the hardiest annuals that sometimes
seem to be perennials are begonias. I
have planted several annuals too early and they die but the begonias
survive. I have Black Eyed Susans
sprouting but will not take them outside to grow for several weeks for they are
easily damaged by low temperatures.
Hope you have cut back your liriope for they are sprouting now. Fertilize those bulbs and pop off the dead
blooms for they cannot produce seed. Be
patient in planting those beautiful annuals.
Fire ant beds are immerging. If
stung a home remedy is put bleach on the bite as soon as possible.
Harriet' Garden will be opening this
weekend March 28, 29, and 30. Stop by
and check out the flowers. Hope to see
you.
