A few months ago, I received a mystery package. The package was actually two envelopes stuffed in to one large padded envelope. The contents were shiny and new. The envelopes bulky. I know I never requested them. But, I am not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. I don’t know who...

As many of you know, I write about family…a lot. I may not get in to specifics. Or details. Or the nitty gritty about our family, but as much as I can I write about our lives. Although, you would be hard pressed to know my children’s first names. You won’t see references to...

A little bit ago I wrote about a line of classic toys that piqued my interest. These toys don’t need batteries. Cables are not needed either. No charging cords. Just simple, plain, battery-free fun from these toys. The Best Pals line of toys was created by Kathy and Janet Lennon. These sisters wanted to...

You know what is a nice way to start the weekend? With good news. I could do with some good news…just a little bit to brighten my day. Perhaps, like me, you are very ready for the weekend. So without further ado — not sure if this is the right spelling or not —...

I’m not nearly old enough to remember 8-tracks…despite what my husband might say. My parents never owned a car with a built-in tapedeck and radio until well in to the 80s. My sister and I received a Record Player for Christmas one year…and it was just that…a device that played records with two speakers....

Our eyes met over the copier. Well, not quite. Our eyes probably met as we were each focusing on something other than legal documents about a nuclear power plant. We first met in the summer of 86 at a summer job. We were both hired to be document coders for a litigation support company...

I didn’t start blogging until I was in my early 40s. I’ve always journalled, but didn’t start a blog until I had to do one for a graduate class. I’m no stranger to what would have been called “keeping a diary or a journal” in the Dark Ages before the Internet. Yes…I wrote in...

Every so often I long for the days of basic. Simple. No power. No need for AA batteries. Just straight forward simple toys. Blocks. A doll house. Trains and cars. And of course, dolls. My husband and I don’t usually fight. We especially don’t fight about dolls. But, we had a doozy of a...

Back in my work-in-an-office days, one of the office perks was free coffee. To call this freebie a perk is a stretch. This free coffee was delivered by the box load ready for brewing in the office kitchen. It served to give you a little pick me up, but this coffee had the worst...

As I walked through the KFC HQ a week or two ago, I could not miss the very recognizable smell. It was the smell of chicken…KFC chicken. It was everywhere. The smell of chicken seemed to follow our band of bloggers. It brought me back to my childhood. I have very strong memories of...
