Thankful Thoughts (updated)

Happy Thanksgiving! I am sitting on the couch next to my wife after having dinner and watching the Detroit Lions lose another game on National TV! (LOL - I get suckered in actually thinking they MAY win a game!) The Christmas tree is lit, the lights are low, and we are waiting to have some … Continue reading Thankful Thoughts (updated) →

Bedtime Books – Part II

I usually post a link to my blogs on my Facebook page. Many of my friends there offered comments about their favorite books. Many remember chapter books from Judy Blume, The Hardy Boys, The Boxcar Kids, and others. Some of them, my wife included, reminded me of other "bedtime books". So here is a short … Continue reading Bedtime Books – Part II →

Winter Storm and Winter Songs

According to the calendar, it is still officially Autumn. There are still colored leaves on the trees here in Michigan. Many people haven't even started raking them yet. This, however, may be the shortest Autumn I can remember as we were hit today with quite the winter storm! I guess we broke the record today … Continue reading Winter Storm and Winter Songs →

Missing Muppets – Do You Remember Them?

November 10, 1969 - a wonderful little show debuted on PBS for kids called Sesame Street. It helped children learn letters, numbers, and over the years has tackled subjects like death, divorce, hurricanes, and autism. With human and Muppet residents, and many guest stars, the show has been an incredible educational program. I grew up … Continue reading Missing Muppets – Do You Remember Them? →
