There is no excuse for taking this long to devote an entire blog to my oldest friend. It's not like I haven't mentioned him before in blogs, because I have, I just haven't written one completely about him. Since today is his birthday, I thought it was time to put him in the spotlight. I … Continue reading My Oldest Friend
Zorro, The Gay Blade

Daddy’s Little Girl
The past 16 weeks have been very exciting for Sam and me. It has been especially nice to have this blog as a place that I can write things down and look back on later. My last blog told of the ultrasound, finding out the baby's gender, and how we shared the news. I am … Continue reading Daddy’s Little Girl
Spilling the Beans ….
It was a very busy weekend for me. It was a weekend full of many emotions. As I sit down to write this, I have to remind myself what day it is. My work schedule was a bit different last week, and then you toss in a couple days off for the holiday and it … Continue reading Spilling the Beans ….
The Big “D” (and I don’t mean Dallas)
I have been blogging here for almost 2 years. That, in itself is pretty unbelievable to me. In that time, I have blogged about a variety of topics. I have blogged about family, friends, music, and music. I have blogged about changes in my life, happiness, and things I have struggled with. Today, I am … Continue reading The Big “D” (and I don’t mean Dallas)
Tune Tuesday – Ain’t No Sunshine
As summer quickly (and sadly) draws to a close, it got me to thinking about the one thing I'll miss most about summer - sunshine. For those who live where the sun is always shining (or at least most of the time), you really cannot comprehend just how difficult the winter months in Michigan are. … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Ain’t No Sunshine
Get the “funk” out!
I am not going to lie, this past week has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. Whether or not there was more bad than good this week, I really can't say. It "feels like" there was a bit more negatives, though, hence the "funk" I was in this morning. I am hoping that … Continue reading Get the “funk” out!
Tune Tuesday – Pilot of the Airwaves
In honor of today being National Radio Day, and as a former full time radio DJ, today's tune was VERY easy to pick. Charlie Dore is a singer songwriter from England, who reached the Top 20 with this song in 1979. I was about a decade away from my start in radio when this song … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Pilot of the Airwaves
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
