Excuse me, would you please stop saying that!

The other day, I overheard a conversation (and I use that term very loosely) — and this is a brief excerpt from it: “And so anywho, like, I was like, you know, soooo mad that I could, like, hardly —you know what I mean? — even, like, speak.” The rest of the conversation was like [...]

Why We Live Here…

Spring has definitely sprung and no matter what street you turn down in Fairfield Glade, the blooms are breathtaking.

Everyone has opinion on Woods’ penalty at Masters

Tiger Woods gave himself an advantage he was not allowed to take. That is the end-all of what happened at the Masters last Friday afternoon. As I write this on Saturday afternoon prior to The Vista going to press for this issue, I am at a disadvantage — because I don’t know if Woods rallied [...]

Why We Live Here…

Spring has sprung! Evidence of that can be seen in the photo above — an Eastern Bluebird taking a break from building its summer nest near a Fairfield Glade home. It’s mate was not too far away.

What a difference a few days make!

                Last Monday, as the top picture of Spring Lake attests, it sure felt like Spring was a long way off as Fairfield Glade experienced frigid temperatures and an inch or two of snow. But by Friday, the snow was gone and temperatures climbed. Maybe — just maybe [...]

A Vista Review ‘Les Miserables’ production one of a kind

By TRACY WALTHER For The Vista Ok, so I am definitely NOT an entertainment reviewer.  And as you soon shall see, I am no writer, either.  So I suppose what follows could be considered an editorial, as it is merely opinion.  But then again, isn’t a review just the writer’s opinion?  Anyway…. I was completely [...]

This Eagle has landed … here in the Glade

This grand bird of prey was photographed near Lake Dartmoor recently by Fairfield Glade resident Jim Rose, who used an Olympus C-740. Back in December of 2012, The Vista ran two photos of a bald eagle taken by Rosemary Wells. Whether it is the same bird or not, a sighting of a bald eagle is [...]

It was a week all about surgeries and stylish scooters

Well how was your week? Mine? (Thanks for asking. You’re always great that way) … Truthfully, my week was less than a pleasure. It started with the Ravens winning the Super Bowl and went downhill from there. As soon as that game ended, I went to bed in an effort to get some sleep before [...]
