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

Little Bits of This and That…
One of the blogs that I follow said that the best way to get more followers is to blog everyday. I get daily writing prompts, and some of them have led to decent blogs, but in all honesty, most of the prompts don't "move me" to write. Sure, I'd like to write every day, but … Continue reading Little Bits of This and That…
Tune Tuesday – Music Box Dancer
I have blogged in the past about our summer trips to Caseville, MI. Those trips remain some of my fondest memories. I heard a song on 70's on 7 on Sirius XM last week that will forever have a Caseville connection for me - Music Box Dancer. There was a brief period of time when … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Music Box Dancer

Tune Tuesday – Shake a Tail Feather
I miss a good movie soundtrack album! There was a time where soundtracks from movies were just as big as the movie itself. If I had to pick my Top 10 movie soundtracks, The Blues Brothers would be in the Top 5! The Blues Brothers Band was made up of some of the most amazing … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Shake a Tail Feather
