Nice Lids!

I rarely post two blogs in one day, however, my last post made me think about something - hats. The reason for this is the first line of the song "On the Sunny Side of the Street" (Grab your coat and get your hat ....) I guess I have always appreciated a good hat. I … Continue reading Nice Lids! →

Square Dancing … in Gym Class?

Sandra Boynton writes some of the best children's books. They are perfect reads for Ella right now. They have great pictures, fun verses, and many of them are actually songs. I would say that they are just as fun for us to read as they are for Ella to listen to! This week, Sam was … Continue reading Square Dancing … in Gym Class? →

A Holiday Dozen

I mentioned to my friend Max that I had hoped to post a Christmas song every day from December 1st through Christmas Day. When it comes to holiday tunes, I could probably post a favorite Christmas song for every day of the year ... At any rate, rather than spend the time to do that, … Continue reading A Holiday Dozen →

Son of a … Mitch!

Sirius XM Radio has a few holiday music channels. They each kind of fall into a category - Country Christmas, Uptempo Holiday favorites, etc... I often find myself listening to the channel they call Holiday Traditions. This channel focuses on songs and artists from the 1940's through the 1960's. I hear a lot of my … Continue reading Son of a … Mitch! →

Well, well, well. Look who’s back…

This is my first blog since May 18th. I guess this is the longest I have gone between blogs and many have sent private messages wondering if I am doing okay. My good buddy, Max, sent an email asking about me and it took me a while to write him back. Knowing I work in … Continue reading Well, well, well. Look who’s back… →

The Little Things

Spring! I saw the above cartoon on Facebook and had to share it. Even though the "official" first day of Spring was in March, it is actually starting to feel like it here in Michigan. When people ask my what my favorite season is I usually say "autumn." Spring is a close second. Spring is … Continue reading The Little Things →

Tune Tuesday – Vieni Sul Mar

I wish I could speak Italian. I have always wanted to learn. I guess I always end up talking myself into believing that I can't learn it. The older I get, the less I can remember. I also tell myself that I probably don't have the time to learn it. Then, there is the cost … Continue reading Tune Tuesday – Vieni Sul Mar →

A Golden Gift

Outside of a wedding ring, I don't know many men who wear a lot of jewelry (unless they are a rapper!). I know a few guys who wear a chain around their neck or maybe a bracelet. I don't wear much jewelry, and up until a year or so ago, I only wore a ring. … Continue reading A Golden Gift →

2 Years of Ramblings – A Reflection

Two Years Old Word Press informs me that this blog turned two years old yesterday! Two years and the blogging continues.... I wrote a blog reflecting on one year and some feelings remain the same. Rather than look back on the entire two years, I thought I would reflect on the last year, which had … Continue reading 2 Years of Ramblings – A Reflection →

The Challenge: #PayClassicsForward for Christmas

A blog that I follow, Once Upon a Screen, posted a challenge that she has done for a few years now. The idea is to share some of your favorite movies with others - by "paying classics forward". You can my friend, Aurora's post from this year here: https://aurorasginjoint.com/2019/12/13/the-challenge-payclassicsforward-for-christmas/ From the above link, you can … Continue reading The Challenge: #PayClassicsForward for Christmas →
