Here’s the thing. If you come to Pioneer Playhouse to see a show, you must wear a mask until you are seated in your reserved seat with your party. It’s not that hard to do, and it’s da rules. #maskupky #teamkentucky #pioneerplayhouse #kysoldestoutdoortheatre #weareallinthistogether

No, this is not a killer hornet as we originally feared 😱but a Cicada Killer. They do kill cicadas but they don’t sting humans unless provoked. They are supposedly gentle (except to cicadas!) and are loners. #learnsomethingnew #giantbugs #cicadakillerwasp

The best laid plans...the rain and Covid-19 stopped us from going inside for the first time in 71 years. It wasn’t the opening night we planned, but that’s the way it goes. Maybe tomorrow night. #pioneerplayhouse

Vavoom!! This is a gorgeous never-before-seen (by us) photo of my husband Tim’s @timungs mom, Vergie, back in the day. His sister Caroline just sent. Sadly, Vergie died of cancer a week after our wedding...almost 30 years ago! So I never got the chance to really know her. But I can see and feel her strong spirit, beauty and style here. ❤️ #throwbackwednesday #oldphotosarethebest #stongwomen
