Book Recommendation: The Day Tripper

Slowly, but surely, I am working through my "Want to read" list. I just finished one that I almost stopped reading after the first chapter. It begins with a couple in their 20's who are in the early stages of their relationship. Their cheesy "lovey dovey" exchanges were a bit over the top for me. … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Day Tripper →

Another Mom Memory

Friday before work, my son Andrew was asking me about something that we had put in the basement. I took him downstairs to look for whatever it was and I stumbled on a wooden chest which was in a box of things I have been meaning to go through. I opened it up and was … Continue reading Another Mom Memory →

This Simply Amazes Me

This came up in my Facebook memories this week and I thought it would be cool to share. In my Bible classes, the pastor/teacher always talks about how amazing the Bible is. The fact that it was preserved throughout history and we can hold it in our hands today and read those words in itself … Continue reading This Simply Amazes Me →

Brief Life Update

This week, while it has been nice to have some new features to post here, I feel like I haven't really told you what's been up our way. It's been a pretty busy week or so.

Book Recommendation: The Final Witness – Paul Landis

The latest is on a topic that has fascinated me for years - The JFK Assassination. The assassination happened seven years before I … Continue reading Book Recommendation: The Final Witness – Paul Landis →

Tune Tuesday – You’re Not Alone Anymore

For Tune Tuesday today, we celebrate the birthday of one of the greatest singers of all time. Roy Orbison was born on this day in 1936. A few years ago, I wrote a blog about him and this may or may not be a bit of a rehashing of that. Roy Orbison is a rock … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – You’re Not Alone Anymore →

Earth Day Kicks Off a New Feature

Happy Earth Day! In a past blog I mentioned that I had a few ideas for new features - most are music oriented. I haven't decided whether to do some weekly or biweekly, so I'm playing it by ear. Today is the first installment of Movie Monday Music. As a fan of movie soundtracks, I … Continue reading Earth Day Kicks Off a New Feature →

Can’t Take My Eyes Off Them

What should have been an easy trip to Lowes wound up being longer than I anticipated. Let me explain. When Sam got home this morning, she was talking about the yard and the things that I need to get done. She wanted me to run to Lowes to get some lawn/leaf bags, oil and filter … Continue reading Can’t Take My Eyes Off Them →

Maybe YOU Can Help Me?

I am a computer dummy. I can type and print things, but when it comes to certain things, I am clueless. Therefore, I am writing this in hopes that one of my amazing readers/followers might be able to help me. As many of you know, I have a few features here on my blog (Tune … Continue reading Maybe YOU Can Help Me? →
