The Real Housewives of Catasauqua

Last week the ladies of "Keep me in Stitches", which is a crochet and knitting group at the Catasauqua Public Library, were having a conversation when one thing led to another in my mind, what would a Real Housewives of Catasauqua show be like?

We were talking about Dancing with the Stars and Erika Jayne.  Someone asked who she was.  I said I think she is from one of those Housewives shows; which led to the above question as to what would a Real Housewives of Catasauqua show be like?  (We had some answers that actually kept us in stitches)

Who would star in the "The Real Housewives of Catasauqua"?  

I found an article that explained the casting of the show as follows:

1) There is no such think as too much personality.

2)  A sense of humor is a must.

3)  Friends of the housewives are preferred.

4) A willingness to be open is essential.

5) You don't have to be a wife (that is just too funny)

It seems that BRAVO has redefined the term"housewife", being that most of the women on these shows have probably not done any actual domestic chores.  

Think of what our women could do in Catasauqua - they could brunch at the new Bridge Street Restaurant.  They could visit an Art Exhibit at Gallery 415 or take swing lessons at The Gas House Dance Hall.  THINK of all the possibilities!!!!   They could even drink too much at the Auquasat Lounge and enter rehab which is conveniently located across the street at the Malvern Institute.  Do you notice how I managed to do all that in basically a two block radius - imagine the infinite scenarios involving the whole town!  Maybe we could even include North Catasauqua in the show.  

So, I ask you, fellow Catasauqians, who would star in The Real Housewives of Catasauqua?

and with that .. it's another day in Catasauqua.

Sunday in the Park - OLD HOME WEEK - Catasauqua

What a beautiful day and what better place to spend it than at the Catasauqua Park!  Swimming is free for Catasauqua and North Catasauqua residents and darn I am tempted to go, but my schedule is packed for today.

After a morning at church, where I preached, well more like I did a Sunday School Lesson (now don't be impressed - I am
the last person on the list to fill in on Sundays); Parke and I had breakfast and then we decided to check out the Sunday in Park.  This is the continuing celebration of Old Home Week. 

Oh it was great - I love that the vendors are set up under the trees, much cooler to walk through than on the street.  I saw some of my favorite ladies - Eugenia Emert and Carol York Roach, plus many other crafters that I only get to see at the Muhlenberg Medical Festival or Musikfest. 

Oh speaking of music - there will be music in the park or shows all day.  I just happened to catch "The Gas House Dance House" Girls dancing.  Oh now I might have to just go check them out - I wonder if I a chubby girl with bad knees can dance like that.  Anyway - there is more entertainment coming, the Tavern Band and Common Bond are to perform.

There is a petting zoo, games for kids and so much more. 

I am making this short - but I might blog part 2 later. I have to run again. 

Now get out and PARTEE down at the Catasauqua Playground.....and that's another day in Catasauqua.
