Thank You For Being A Friend

Last night Sam and I headed down to Royal Oak to watch The Golden Girls - The Laughs Continue. It had been too long since we had a date night and this was the perfect solution. As I mentioned in a previous blog, we heard that the show was a bit more ... "adult." It … Continue reading Thank You For Being A Friend →

Jotting Down Some Randomness

The past week has been one of change and challenges for me. I am usually not lacking things I want to write about, but the past few days have been ... well, busy. I've jotted little random thoughts in my "possible blog" notebook but none of them really warrants a full blown blog. So I … Continue reading Jotting Down Some Randomness →

Book Recommendation: Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice For Murders

I just finished listening to the audio version of this book by Jesse Q. Sutanto. I guess this is what folks refer to as a "cozy mystery." I really don't know what that means, but I will tell you that I liked it. As someone who reads a lot of mysteries, this one kept coming … Continue reading Book Recommendation: Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice For Murders →

Some Books I’ve Read

It's been a bit since I offered up some thoughts on my recent reads, so I thought I would share a few with you. (The one I am currently reading is very good and will review separately when I finish.) I really enjoyed this book. I certainly gained some insight into Abraham Lincoln and learned … Continue reading Some Books I’ve Read →

It’s Coming Along

My father-in-law and I are a far cry from Al Borland and Tim "the Tool Man" Taylor. As I have stated before, he is brilliant when it comes to home improvement projects. Any time we have run into a snag, he's always been able to find the right solution. A few days ago, I posted … Continue reading It’s Coming Along →

My Tony Bennett Story

The legendary Tony Bennett passed away yesterday at age 96. Sadly, I never had the chance to see him perform live. I never had the chance to meet him. I also never had the chance to interview him on the radio. Yet, despite those things, I still have a Tony Bennett story that may make … Continue reading My Tony Bennett Story →

She’s Movin’ On Up!

There is nothing that makes time move faster than watching your children grow. In 6 months, Ella will be 4 years old. It seems like just yesterday that I was blogging about getting her room and crib put together! Moving from the crib to a toddler bed was the next big step. This is a … Continue reading She’s Movin’ On Up! →

Random “Crap” (Pun intended)

The work that they are doing on our street has been more than annoying. We're having to park on side streets because we can't get to our driveway. Our mail is not being delivered because the mail lady can't get to our street. Whatever happened to "Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers … Continue reading Random “Crap” (Pun intended) →

Hit the Deck!

So, my father-in-law and I are working on yet another project. This one, however, was not a planned project. And as per usual, once we started it, we found that we'll be doing more than expected. This time it is our side porch. Forgive the photo, but the only one I could find was one … Continue reading Hit the Deck! →
