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

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

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.

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.
