A Look Back at 2023
Perhaps this year I will plan a bit better. I hoped to post this year-end recap on January 1, 2024, but life had other plans. If I made New Year's Resolutions, planning ahead just might be one of mine. Better late than never ... 2023 was a year of ups and downs, but that's what makes life … Continue reading A Look Back at 2023
Hip Hip Horray! It’s Number 1K!
To say that I am speechless is an understatement. This is Blog #1000! Off the top of my head, I've covered a lot of ground in 1000 blog posts.

Two Day Trip to Italy
One of the things I love about blogging is "meeting" other bloggers and reading what they are writing about.

Sometimes I feel like I repeat myself in my blogs. If I do, I apologize. In all honesty, sometimes I forget if I have mentioned something in a previous blog.

A Memorable and Unique Gift
When I started writing my blog, I knew it would be a variety of personal stories, thoughts on music and movies, and blogs about whatever happened to be on my mind. I wondered if I'd actually be able to write new material often enough to even keep a blog. So, I signed up for "daily … Continue reading A Memorable and Unique Gift
Reflections on “Blog Year One”
One of my Facebook friends noted on his page that this weeks marks the 100th birthday of comedian Red Buttons. Red was known for his "never got a dinner" and "I was there" bits which he did frequently at celebrity roasts. I remembered that last year, on his birthday, I blogged about Red and included … Continue reading Reflections on “Blog Year One”
