TOTAL EYE - Grand Opening




Total Eye, Family & Medical Eye Care held its Grand Opening on Saturday, 06 November. Located in Culpeper, Virginia, Doctors Brad Church, Myron Wasiuta and Sandra Grossett are dedicated to their mantra; "A personalized approach to vision correction" something rarely found in medical practices these days. Be it general eye care, low vision specialties, emergency eye care or nutrition, their patients are first and foremost. The doctors and staff take the time to ensure the best in eye care for everyone who walks through their door.

A good time was had by all. Two moon bounces were provided by the folks at Here Comes Fun for the kids; popcorn, food, a raffle, door prizes and other goodies as well as free vision screenings for the community. Local chamber of commerce members were in attendance as was WJMA 103.1, the local radio station.

An official ribbon cutting ceremony was held to close out the days activities. Check out pictures from the event.

Total Eye of Culpeper (540)-825-8220). My personal and I readily admit, blatantly biased opinion; you won't find a more dedicated group of doctors and staff for all of your eye care needs in the Culpeper and Fredericksburg regions.

Restore Sanity/Keep Fear Alive



This past Halloween weekend, the Rally To Restore Sanity/Rally To Keep Fear Alive was held in Washington, D.C.

Unable to attend, I nonetheless, greatly appreciate the fact that EVERYONE at this event, at least knows how to spell.

Halloween




My favorite holiday (well not a holiday really) of the year. I love carving pumpkins. The stranger the better.

Three or so years ago, I came across Extreme Pumpkins. A strange, macabre and generally warped site devoted to carving pumpkins in an entirely new way. I was mesmerized. Here were the pumpkins that I dreamed of, but my imagination somehow couldn't bring to life.

In these intervening three years, I've carved many pumpkins I've found from the site. Kids and parents alike stopping by for tricks or treats comment on them all.

Here's to the folks at Extreme Pumpkins and all of their contributors; who submit their gourd creations for consideration in the yearly contest. Until such time that my own warped imagination can come up with a suitable masterpiece of its own, I'll continue to borrow your ideas and give credit where credit is due.

Carve on!
