Friday Photo Flashback

Today's flashback takes me back to around 2008. I'm not 100%, but based on the ages that the boys look, it is about right. My oldest son was diagnosed as being on the Autism spectrum. After a brief search, we became quite involved with the local support group. We found that there were many other … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Life’s Little Moments

I channeled my inner "Clark Griswold" this week. I spent the weekend putting up the outdoor decorations. Believe it or not, no one was hurt in the process! With the weather as nice as it was, I decided to get the lights up before it got too cold. I worked on the front yard first. … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

The Music of My Life – 1996

Welcome back to The Music of My Life, where I feature ten songs from each year of my life.  In most cases, the ten songs I choose will be ones I like personally (unless I explain otherwise). The songs will be selected from Billboard’s Year-end Hot 100 Chart, Acclaimed Music, and will all be released … Continue reading The Music of My Life – 1996 →

Tune Tuesday – Doom and Gloom

If you made a list of bands that helped define the 60's and 70's, the Rolling Stones would surely be on that list.  From the moment they hit the scene, they continued to make records and tour and did so for decades afterward.  On this day in 2012, they released GRRR! another hits compilation album. It … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Doom and Gloom →

Movie Music Monday – One Crazy Summer

It's hard to believe that Demi Moore is 62 today! Her career has included some big box office hits.  Those include Ghost, A Few Good Men, Striptease, GI Jane, Indecent Proposal, The Juror, and many more.  With so many great movies and great soundtracks to choose from, I had plenty of songs that I could … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – One Crazy Summer →

This Day in (My Childhood) History

It was on this day in 1891 that the amazing Carl Stalling was born. You may not know him by name, but I guarantee you know his work! Carl is probably best known for arranging and composing music for cartoons and animated films.  If you have ever watched a Looney Tunes or Merrie Melodies cartoon, … Continue reading This Day in (My Childhood) History →

Book Recommendation – One Puzzling Afternoon

I had this book in my "favorites" on the Hoopla app for a while. The title intrigued me. I "favorite" a book I want to read and when it is time for a new read, I search there. After finishing my prior books I clicked on the book to read it, but it kept giving … Continue reading Book Recommendation – One Puzzling Afternoon →

Friday Photo Flashback

Thanksgiving is just around the corner.  My Facebook feed is full of friends posting their 30 Days of Thanks.  Everyday they post something they are thankful for.  Personally, I believe we can find something to be thankful for every day of the year. I was transferring pictures from one hard drive to another this week … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Life’s Little Moments

I woke up yesterday morning to exactly what I expected in regard to social media. One side gloating and the other angry. Honestly, if the outcome had been different, it would have been the same way, just the other way around. It was the same here on WordPress, and because of that, I promise that … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →
