Giving Thanks (Updated)
When I worked on the radio, we would often “recycle” bits. We would take something we had done in the past and “re-run” it, often updating it to be current.

Friday Photo Flashback
It's time for another Friday Photo Flashback. Once again, today's installment was prompted by something I noticed on Facebook. Many of my friends are posting their child's Senior pictures.

Friday Photo Flashback
It is time for another installment of my Friday Photo Flashback. This week - a picture I didn't even know I had. It certainly is not a great picture of me, but it does bring back memories. The background seems dark and things behind us are hard to make out, but the people in it … Continue reading Friday Photo Flashback
Friday Photo Flashback
This is a "feature" I started a couple weeks ago with a Daily Writing Prompt. It's been fun to find a photo to write about each week. This week's gem comes from way back! Yes, that is me!
