Our approach to patient care is unique because we do not use aides or assistants to supervise therapeutic exercise time with our patients, but only highly trained physical therapists. We have found that this approach improves … [Read more...]

Remembering Birds

May 18, 2017 by Jim Brewer

By Sherman Shifflett   After a recent article about birds in CvilleBuzz, I started thinking about the birds I saw as a kid and how many of those species have become scarce. My family left Covesville in 1957, and I don't think I have seen a Baltimore Oriole since then. I remember a sycamore tree near our bus stop and I used to see the orioles in that tree. Seems to me that they built … [Read more...]

Rose-Breasted Grosbeaks

May 18, 2017 by Jim Brewer

It’s always exciting to see a new bird at your feeder. Not that the old faithful’s aren’t worthy visitors, but to see an unfamiliar bird is special. About two weeks ago, I saw such a bird. It was a cloudy day and early in the morning, so the light wasn’t good, but I did not recognize the bird on the sunflower heart feeder. I had a hunch and looked it up and it was, as I thought, a female … [Read more...]

The Smell of Youth

May 11, 2017 by Jim Brewer

As Boomers look back over the years, smells and odors often trigger keen memories. They remind us of the events of our youth. Several distinct odors stand out in this Boomer’s mind. The smell of new denim jeans, for one. Today, it’s next to impossible to find a pair of jeans that hasn’t been stonewashed, ripped into shreds and put through the wringer before they even hit the shelves. They … [Read more...]

The Ivy Inn

May 11, 2017 by Jim Brewer

Charlottesville, Virginia, home of CvilleBuzz, had 225 restaurants at last count. That’s a lot of choices, but if I had special guests coming to town, price was no object and I wanted to make sure they dined at one of Charlottesville’s finest restaurants, I would take them to the Ivy Inn. Over the years, my wife Nancy and I have had many enjoyable meals at The Inn (mostly anniversaries … [Read more...]
