This phrase is so true for me. It is true is a couple ways actually. You can find many blogs I have written about the similarities between my father and I. He is my biggest influence in music, books, movies, and TV shows. When someone tells me that I am just like my dad, I … Continue reading Like Father – Like Son

Happy Father’s Day
Well, the kitten woke me up about 3:30 this morning. He's an early bird apparently. So I decided to take advantage of the kids still sleeping and I made a pot of coffee. I figured I'd read a bit. I then remembered that today is Father's Day. So I wanted to take a moment to … Continue reading Happy Father’s Day
Another year passes …
Today I finished my 53rd trip around the sun. Birthdays stopped being special to me a long time ago. They are just another day. However, I will tell you that today was a birthday I won't soon forget. Let me tell you why ... Ella has been talking about my birthday for months. She's known … Continue reading Another year passes …
Friday Photo Flashback
This week marked the 29th anniversary of the passing of my grandfather. In 2018, I wrote a blog about him on his birthday. You can read it here: https://nostalgicitalian.com/2018/12/16/happy-birthday-pops/ My dad sent a photo to me and my brother this week of my Great Grandma (Grandpa's mom) that I'd never seen before. That got me … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
I Smell Like a Shamrock!
Ok, to be fair, I don't know what a shamrock smells like. I tried to look it up on Google and got answers like: "...the fresh scent of lush, green hills kissed by a sparkle of sunshine..." " ...shamrock's smell like freshly poured Guinness, of course!" "...Shamrock kinda just smells like dirt and grass..." For some reason or another mint … Continue reading I Smell Like a Shamrock!

This is the 12th round that I have participated in and it has quickly become one of my favorite "features" to participate in.

Friday Photo Flashback
Welcome to another edition of the Friday Photo Flashback feature! This time around we go back to 1988 (and 1999). In the past it has been fun for me to find a picture and examine the things in the background. The picture I have chosen really doesn't allow me to do that, because there's not … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Relating to Cartoon Dogs
"Oh boy. Here goes Keith talking about that Bluey show again. Isn't that a kid show? Why does he watch that?" I relate to it! There, I said it. There are so many things about this show that I can relate to! For example, in our house, Sam and I cannot use the bathroom without … Continue reading Relating to Cartoon Dogs
Christmas 2022 – A Look Back
Hello, my friends. When I last blogged, we were gearing up for a big snow storm. While we didn't get as much as they were saying, roads were still dangerous and as a bonus we got our white Christmas. I had to laugh at something I saw on Facebook, and had to share here. This … Continue reading Christmas 2022 – A Look Back

I make this guess based on the contents of the photo. Let's Flashback to a Christmas morning .... The above photo is of yours truly many moons … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
