Well as I am often reminded after wishing customers a good day: “They are all good just (all together now) some are better than others.” I think that this year has taught me that there are times that test us but with the help of family, the best of friends and the power of HIM […]

I’m not even sure why most stores opened Thanksgiving night at either 9 or midnight. Did they think perhaps it would be less chaotic than opening at 4am? My brother and his friend hit Wal-Mart at 10. My cousin and her annual group headed out at 11. Me?! I traveled to our area Wally World

What a fun-filled day full of loving (if a bit wacky) family with so many blessings given to us from above. So thankful that He has led me through this one of the toughest years I have had to endure with not only my own physical hurdles but hopefully within a few weeks those of

Honestly, he is NOT retiring! Moments ago after 28 1/2 years, and a combined on-air time over 53 years of 17,000 hours (a Guinness record), Regis Philbin said goodbye to HIS show. He moved from NYC to California years ago after graduating from his beloved University of Notre Dame. In 1983, he returned to his home
SO GLAD Megan could get tickets! Back in June, I learned that the 25 Anniversary of Les Misérables was making its way to the Stranahan. I did not forget but with all the eventful events surrounding my family the past few months, it kind of took a back seat. However, Megan was able to score

Well… it seems that Oscar is in need of a host once again. Yesterday, amid scandal and controversy the producer of next year’s Academy Award extravaganza Brett Ratner backed out of his duties. Shortly after, Eddie Murphy stepped down as host. This morning, I heard two possible contenders being promoted (two being rather subjective). On
I hate to disagree with Father’s sermon this morning but I do not think ALL adults lose that sense of wonder and imagination that all children share. Some of we old’uns still possess some of those traits that create a magical feeling on Christmas morning and throughout the year. Many seem to choose to hide

I have had a great Halloween thus far. I did decide to go to my voice lesson in costume (anyone who remembers my costume from last year… recycled but still worth it). It did give me an idea for a quick costume change for “Songs I Have Learned.” I felt like Sky Masterson or “Good

WOW! Have I been lax in posting, or what?! Think I will use this space to catch myself and all my faithful readers up on the past few weeks (that have seemed like months. My second oldest brother went back to the doctor on Friday last and now waits until November 17th to go to
