Daddy’s Little Girl

The past 16 weeks have been very exciting for Sam and me. It has been especially nice to have this blog as a place that I can write things down and look back on later. My last blog told of the ultrasound, finding out the baby's gender, and how we shared the news. I am … Continue reading Daddy’s Little Girl →

Spilling the Beans ….

It was a very busy weekend for me. It was a weekend full of many emotions. As I sit down to write this, I have to remind myself what day it is. My work schedule was a bit different last week, and then you toss in a couple days off for the holiday and it … Continue reading Spilling the Beans …. →

The Big “D” (and I don’t mean Dallas)

I have been blogging here for almost 2 years. That, in itself is pretty unbelievable to me. In that time, I have blogged about a variety of topics. I have blogged about family, friends, music, and music. I have blogged about changes in my life, happiness, and things I have struggled with. Today, I am … Continue reading The Big “D” (and I don’t mean Dallas) →

Tune Tuesday – Ain’t No Sunshine

As summer quickly (and sadly) draws to a close, it got me to thinking about the one thing I'll miss most about summer - sunshine. For those who live where the sun is always shining (or at least most of the time), you really cannot comprehend just how difficult the winter months in Michigan are. … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Ain’t No Sunshine →

Get the “funk” out!

I am not going to lie, this past week has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. Whether or not there was more bad than good this week, I really can't say. It "feels like" there was a bit more negatives, though, hence the "funk" I was in this morning. I am hoping that … Continue reading Get the “funk” out! →

Tune Tuesday – Pilot of the Airwaves

In honor of today being National Radio Day, and as a former full time radio DJ, today's tune was VERY easy to pick. Charlie Dore is a singer songwriter from England, who reached the Top 20 with this song in 1979. I was about a decade away from my start in radio when this song … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Pilot of the Airwaves →

Capturing Memories of Yesterday

In my last blog, I was ranting about making spaghetti sauce. I hadn't made it in awhile, and it was long overdue. I was making it because we had friends over Saturday night. Our friend Amy was bringing by the flash drive with the photos she took of Dante' for senior pictures - session #1. You … Continue reading Capturing Memories of Yesterday →

Getting Saucy … sort of

Frank Sinatra sang, "Regrets. I've had a few...." One regret I have is waiting too long to ask my grandmother for recipes. By the time I thought to do this, the beginnings of Alzheimer's Disease and dementia had begun to overcome her and it was too late. It is not like we never tried to … Continue reading Getting Saucy … sort of →

The King is Gone

May 1977. The month I turned 7 years old, two movies were released that would have major influences over my childhood, and adulthood. The movies were Star Wars and Smokey and the Bandit. I can recall exactly where I saw each movie, too. I saw Star Wars at Hoover 11 when the movie theater was … Continue reading The King is Gone →
