It's time again for my contribution to Dave from A Sound Day's monthly feature Turntable Talk. If you are keeping track, this is round #30! Way back when we started this, he asked us if the Beatles were still relevant. This time we circle back to the Fab Four and Dave wants us to write … Continue reading Turntable Talk #30 – The Most Fab of Them All
Friday Photo Flashback
I have a few bloggers that I follow who always answer the daily writing prompt offered up by WordPress. With the features I am currently running, I don't have much need for a prompt every day, but do jot down ones that I would like to come back to. This week one of the prompts … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Life’s Little Moments
You may remember that last year we redid all the boards on our side porch. I never did get the chance to stain it because of the weather. It took me a week or two, but on days when I had time and the weather was right, I got out and did it. Here you … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments
The Music of My Life – 1989
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).

Like many of the features and blog-a-thons hosted by other blogs, I'd have you write on my topic and feature one daily from all the submissions.

Book Review – The Accidental Further Adventures of the 100-Year-Old Man
Recently, I read Jonas Jonasson's The 100-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out The Window and Disappeared. I really enjoyed the book and laughed out loud a lot. So when I stumbled on a sequel, I naturally had to read it. Perhaps it is a given that most sequels are bad. I suppose I felt that this … Continue reading Book Review – The Accidental Further Adventures of the 100-Year-Old Man
Friday Photo Flashback
I'm not going to go back too far today, just a few years ago. While we were outside this week, the kids were talking about the leaves that were falling. They've been picking them up and coming over to me and showing me the different colors in them. Fall, as you may be aware, is … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
A Personal Invite to YOU
I have been honored to take part in many features that are hosted by other bloggers and their sites. Honestly, writing for those features is really a lot of fun for me. Not to mention that you get some exposure for your blog on another site. Themed blog-a-thons about movies are always fun to write … Continue reading A Personal Invite to YOU
