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 […]
I’ve been thinking recently about friends and friendship. I value my friends and value my close friends highly. If it is within my abilities, there isn’t much I wouldn’t do for a friend. Now there are some questionable activities that I won’t consider, but if asked for, or neede, I try to be there for
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

In 2002, after he was approached by the graduate assistant who knew of the assistant coach’s gross inappropriate conduct, Joe Pa should have gone NOT to the Athletic Director nor even to the

Wednesday November 9 is the 2011 Country Music Awards – an event once so important to me that I would put my schedule on hold so I could enjoy watching this annual awards show on tv. For a few years now, I have committed my Wednesday nights to leading a small group for church’s student

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’ve developed a sense of gratitude for facebook. I startered using it just to make contact with my children, but I’ve noticed that there are times it puts me in a thoughtful mood. Case in point, a question was brought up today: “If you could go back 20 years in your life, would you?”. I’ve

October is normally one of the busiest months for our family, and that was true before October 2011 – the month that saw us being blessed with a new baby, starting homeschooling, and Hubby starting a new job/career all at the same time. There are so many fun fall and Halloween events and activities that

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
