The Allure of Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get your love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
It’s Super Bowl Sunday! We Win – No Matter What!
Though the Super Bowl won’t have the ginormous crowds and the vendors won’t sell near as many snack items and the ticket sales are meager compared to years before, today the two best professional football teams will meet up for the big FINALE. It just so happens that it’s two teams, the Kansas City Chiefs…
A Meet-Up by God’s Design
Hang in with me – just 9 more days of downsizing, purging, and letting go! This little blog saga is one I took mental notes on days ago, but this day am inspired to share it with you. I saw that GameStop’s shares are now up more than 1,000% since the beginning of the year.…

Oh, the anticipation of getting a card that a boy liked me, even if it was the pre-printed words on a cat-themed card: “Will you be MY meow-entine?” Just…
Calgon, Take Me Away
Remember that vintage commercial “Calgon, take me away?” The commercial shows an irritated woman with a newsreel playing in her head of her plight: the traffic piling up, the boss yelling, the baby crying, and the dog barking. She exclaims: “That does it! Calgon, take me away!” The next scene is of her in a…
My Nest Felt Uncomfortable
Ever felt like that little bird whose mama kept making the nest not-so-cozy so her babies would fly away? Before long that little bird had enough and flew away. It may be called “restlessness”. If Covid taught me anything, “more” is not necessary. I started feeling “less IS more”. I sensed I didn’t need all…
