How is it October already? I swear, I feel like it was just the beginning of summer. October is a month that I love and hate at the same time. I love October because the fall colors really show. It is high school football games and bonfires. It is trips to the cider mill and … Continue reading Welcome October

The Monday Blues

Our last text exchange was on her birthday in June. I've stated before that the older we get, … Continue reading The Monday Blues

Friday Photo Flashback

However, it is obvious that I have looked cute in a beret since I was young. The thing that really stands out here is the gold couch that I have … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback

The Monday Blues
I thought we'd head to the swamp today. "I'm a King Bee" is what they call a "swamp blues" song. It was written and first recorded by Slim Harpo in 1957. It has been performed and recorded by numerous blues and other artists since, but Slim's version is paramount. Harpo's legal name was James Moore. He … Continue reading The Monday Blues
