There were also … Continue reading Monday Memory →

Turning Pages

I often question whether I should post about books I read. Then I remember that more often than not, I only read that book because some blogger I follow posted about it! Now I understand that just because someone praises a book doesn't mean I will enjoy it. If, however, it sounds like something I … Continue reading Turning Pages →

Friday Photo Flashback

Welcome to another edition of the Friday Photo Flashback feature! This time around we go back to 1988 (and 1999).

Macaroni and Beans!

I have never been diagnosed with OCD. That being said, I do tend to be a creature of habit. I tend to take the same way to work every day, I like my coffee the same way every day, and such, but I don't think I am OCD. My books and DVDs are NOT alphabetized, … Continue reading Macaroni and Beans! →

A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet”

I believe the saying goes "A stranger is a friend you haven't met yet!" Thanks to this blog and social media, I have been able to connect with some friends who I have never met face to face. One of those friends is Mr. Puppet. A few days ago, I posted a blog about random … Continue reading A Big “Thank You” to “Mr. Puppet” →

Relating to Cartoon Dogs

"Oh boy. Here goes Keith talking about that Bluey show again. Isn't that a kid show? Why does he watch that?" I relate to it! There, I said it. There are so many things about this show that I can relate to! For example, in our house, Sam and I cannot use the bathroom without … Continue reading Relating to Cartoon Dogs →
