Life’s Little Moments

I've been having fun on the blog in the last week or so. However, we've experienced our share of rough stuff at home. Hopefully, we're working our way towards the end of it. Germs! It started with Ella about three weeks ago. She went to urgent care with a fever. They said it was an … Continue reading Life’s Little Moments →

Share Your Nostalgia

After seven days of great toys, I suppose it is my turn to wrap things up in my Toy of Your Life topic. Before I begin, I want to extend my gratitude to those seven writers who said, "Yeah, Keith. I'll write up something for your silly feature." Nancy, Colin, Christian, Randy, Max, Dave, and … Continue reading Share Your Nostalgia →

Friday Photo Flashback

The timing on this photo find is almost perfect. We're less than two weeks away from Halloween and I stumbled on this photo of my folks. This photo made me laugh out loud! My mom is wearing one of my dad's old band outfits. They used to wear these blue tuxes when they played weddings … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Book Recommendation – The Last Chance Library

I have always been one of those people who has fought for the local library. I believe that they are extremely important to the community. My brother has worked for a library for almost 30 years. He even wrote a guest blog for me on their importance. You can read that here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2023/05/14/guest-blog-libraries-are-important/ I don't … Continue reading Book Recommendation – The Last Chance Library →

Friday Photo Flashback

I take you back to September of 1999 today. Knowing what I know now, it can be hard to look back at this day. No one ever gets married thinking that it will end in divorce. Believe it or not, the divorce rate in America has been declining since the 1990's. They used to say … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Friday Photo Flashback

Ok, the last two weeks were flashbacks of a serious nature, so I thought I would find a picture I could pick apart a bit. I know Max over at the PowerPop blog loves these photos. According to the date stamp, this was developed in 1988 (the year I graduated from high school). That being … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

Happy 100th

Today would have been my grandma's 100th birthday. She is someone that I truly miss a lot. We'd go to her house every Sunday at noon for "dinner." We'd listen to or watch the Tiger's games during the summer. Every Christmas Eve we spent at her house. I'd always call her to ask her what … Continue reading Happy 100th →

Friday Photo Flashback

This was one of those weird finds on the hard drive. All I remember about this photo is that it was taken at a time where my dad and mom were really into photography. They had bought some high tech camera and were taking pictures of just about everything. I remember they told us we … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback →

White Weekend

Michigan got hit with it's first real winter storm this weekend. It was no joke. It started Friday afternoon after I got to work. In the short couple hours I was there, the snow accumulated quickly. It didn't take long for patients to start cancelling their appointments for that evening. Believe it or not, despite the 6-8 inches of … Continue reading White Weekend →

America celebrated her 247th birthday this week. It was a busy and wonderful weekend for us, as we had an out of town visit from my brother. He and Stacey drove up from Ohio on Sunday. They spent all day with us on Monday. We ordered Pizza for lunch, Barbequed chicken for dinner, and went … Continue reading Fabulous Fourth →
