Is Victor slipping?

Victor Cassadine (Charles Shaughnessy) has eyes and ears everywhere in Port Charles and General Hospital fans have complained that his hands are in too many circumstances. He seems to always be a few steps ahead of those he wants under his thumb but recently, the Cassadien patriarch has not been paying attention to what has been going on right under his nose. His operatives who appeared to be on every corner reporting back to him have been lax in updating Uncle Vic on current situations and now he is grieving the death of his son who is very much alive.

Victor has accepted quite easily that Anna Devane (Finola Hughes) and Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stewart) drowned in Paris and are dead and gone without proof or investigating in detail as he usually does. He also is unaware that his granddaughter Charlotte Cassadine ( Amelie McClain) has spent time with Anna and her Papa thanks to Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagoner). Felicia was able to get Charlotte away from Port Charles and return her home again and Victor had no idea.

A lot is hidden in plain sight but Victor is clueless

Deputy Majoy Eileen Ashby ( Heather Azur) is secretly working for Victor but has no idea that Mayor Laura Collins (Genie Francis) is on to her. On Tuesday Laura pretend to be upset that Charlotte's father and Anna are dead and made sure to say that whoever set all of this in motion is responsible. Eileen went to the General Hospital chapel and told Victor he promised no one would die and asked if Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) was dead as well. Victor is also unaware that Martin Grey (Michael E Knight) is out of town and spending time with Lucy.

When Ashby returned to her vehicle and turned on the radio Eileen heard Anna's voice telling her that she was next and Ms. Devane and Felicia believe they can haunt Victor into slipping up or Eileen turning on him. Victor is now preoccupied regarding Valentin and will soon find out that Nikolas Casadine (Marcus Coloma/Adam Huuss)is missing and or dead.

He will no doubt become more distracted and make additional mistakes and he could also experience health problems. Selina Wu (Lydia Look) gave Victor a drink that was spiked with something Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) gave her but this has not been revisited, so stay tuned to General Hospital to find out what happens next.

Virginia black walnuts have a rich history

I was a little girl during the 1960s my grandmother would take the neighborhood children to collect walnuts from trees in a specific location in Blue Ridge Virginia. Black walnut trees were located in a wooded area less than a mile from route 460 East, near the end of Blue Ridge Springs Road close to the railroad, the sulfur spring, and the mountain. We filled up several bags from the nuts that and fallen to the ground and when we got home the fun began. We would remove the green casing to get the walnut shell and our hands would be darkened from touching those that were not fully ripe.

The tradition of the sun dancing or shouting at sunrise on Easter

Why does the sun appear to dance on Easter morning?. It is customary for local churches in Roanoke and Botetourt County as well as those around the world to hold Easter Sunrise services to acknowledge the women the Bible says found Christ's tomb empty at sunrise. The tradition is for various churches to come together under one roof and prior to COVID, the host church would have breakfast. When I was a child local churches gathered in Glade Creek Baptist Church Cemetary and went back to the host church that year for breakfast but I never heard anything about the Easter morning sun dancing until about 5 years ago.

The Chincoteague Pony an Assateague wild pony now represents the State of Virginia

Deer, Elk, Moose, Antelope', and Reindeer all come from the Cervidae family so the next time you hear the song Home on the Range consider that there was more than one type of this breed playing along with the buffalo. " Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam and the deer and the antelope play". Although they are from the same family the Wild Bull Elk is much larger than deer and now has been brought back to Virginia from the brink of extinction.

Beitzah a roasted hard boiled egg is an important part of the Passover meal

There are two traditions that take place during the Spring and sometimes they overlap. Ressurection Sunday observes the day believers in Jesus say He rose from the dead. It is on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the Spring Equinox so the date fluctuates. Passover is based on the Jewish calendar and falls on the 15th of Nissan and can come before during or just after Easter. Many Christian homes will have hard-boiled eggs for dyeing, egg hunts, and with meals. Jewish families observing Passover will have a seder which may include Beitzah a hard-boiled roasted egg.

There are ways to keep sweat bees at bay this spring and summer

There are 13 types of insects from the bee family in Virginia-most notably bumble bees, honey bees, and carpenter bees. There is also the sweat bee which was quite a nuisance when I was a young girl. They seemed to chase us children and would get inside of our clothes during the summer. We would be running, screaming, and pulling at our attire in an effort to be free of the pests.

Paper wasps and yellowjackets are often confused with one another but there are major differences.

The Virginia Museum of History suggests that it's time to prepare for the onslaught of stinging insects that will invade during the spring and summer. My middle grandson told me today that the bees are out but what he was seeing was not actually bumble bees. It's common in this neck of the woods for people to lump the stinking varmints together and two such pests that often are included under the bee umbrella are the paper wasp and the yellowjacket (also yellow jacket).

Down on the corner at the fork in the road anything could happen

CCR's Down on the Corner brings back past memories. Today I heard one of my all-time favorite songs: The 1969 hit Down on the Corner by Creedence Clearwater Revival. This brought back memories of a corner in my hometown Blue Ridge Virginia where I have a number of varied memories. If you drive down 460 East about 12 miles from Roanoke you will see Blue Ridge Springs Road on the right. It's about one block long and you come to the corner which was sort of a crossroads. To the left you drove up a hill where the majority of Black families lived and as I mentioned in other articles it was referred to as Ni**er Hill.
