Before I start today, I promise that this will all tie together. Today's film is the biography of Glenn Miller, The Glenn Miller Story. The 1954 film starred Jimmy Stewart as Glenn Miller and June Allyson as his wife. The film really is good, even though there are places where it may not be historically … Continue reading Movie Music Monday – The Glenn Miller Story
Book Recommendation – The Happiest Man on Earth
This book came up more than once on my recommendations. Granted, I have read a lot of World War II books and plenty about Auschwitz. The Happiest Man on Earth is written by Eddie Jaku.

May I Have This Dance?
Sam pointed out to me that next to Christmas, the day of the Daddy Daughter Dance is what our daughter looks forward to most. She is SO right. We've been counting down the days since Christmas!

Friday Photo Flashback
This week I was looking for something non-blog related and came across a photo I forgot about. This is a five or six year old me. I had been taking organ lessons with the sweetest teacher.

Life’s Little Moments
Tax Time We did our taxes this weekend. Well, we didn't, but our tax guy did. It's always nice to know that you're getting a refund. What was even nicer was to know that we are getting back money from the state taxes, too. It's never really a lot of money, but it is better … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
