Just going through a little trivia that I have collected over the years and I have a question for you…
Do you remember what Oscar-winning actress played Janet?
What appealed most to you and what if anything would you change about the character if you could??
Believe it or not, it’s Sharpen Your Pencils Day. Now think back to when you were in grade school. Do you remember that you were issued two pencils and each had your number taped to the bottom. One you were given to use for the day and the other, sat at the back of the room in a wooden holder, waiting to be sharpened. Don’t ask me why, but I just loved it when the teacher said that it was my turn to sharpen the pencils. That would be about 30 pencils to be sharpened and I GOT TO DO …read more

Yes, I was browsing other blogs… I do that on a regular basis and The Dog’s Breakfast reminded me to do something I haven’t done in a while… look through old photographs. It’s a great way to spend a Friday afternoon.
That made me decide to share a photo of my grandmother and grandfather standing next to Niagara Fall (I think). Actually, I only came by this photo about a week ago. Uncle Stan came through again with a bunch of family photos that I didn’t know existed. I don’t even know the year this was taken. Must make a …read more

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another’s desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together.
~Erma Bombeck
And I wouldn’t trade even one of the “little band of characters” that make up my family.

Most people don’t like to be told what to do regardless of their age. And the same people probably don’t like being told what they can’t do either. In my mind, the best thing to do is allow them to do things their way. Who knows what they can come up with when they are left alone. And from experience, most people will probably ask for help if they want it.

If you could ask your grandfather one thing, what would it be??
My own grandfather fought in the First World War, was captured and then escaped from a prison camp and made it home in one piece. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to ask him to tell us stories when we were growing up, but I never thought of it.
What a waste!
So what would you ask your grandfather if you had the chance?

There are going to be people in your future who will only know you by a name, perhaps a photo and just maybe a birthdate and the date of your death. Give them a little more by sharing a bit about your life! Here are a few questions to get you started, but the more questions you can come up with the better.
1. The best vacation ever…
2. The worst vacation ever…
3. The best souvenir you ever found
4. The worst souvenir
I can only wish I had asked my grandmother questions like this! Sadly, it never occurred to me and I will …read more

I knew if I looked long enough, I would find this again. The first time I saw the recipe, it had to be in the early seventies and I always meant to try it, but either didn’t get around to it, or couldn’t find any beer lying around. But this time, I just might pinch a bottle and then add it to a few tables spoons of Epsom salts.
And yes, you will need a paint brush to paint the solution onto the window. The directions are below. Find yourself a window and see what happens. And if you don’t like …read more

Just a little quiz to see just how clever you are. You will find a series of two photos at a time. It is your job to decide if they are really from the mod era or are they complete frauds. To be quite honest… I goofed on a more than a couple.
How well did you do??

It’s nearly lunchtime and I’m getting hungry, which lead me here.
People are actually voting on what they think is… the best sandwich. Hmmm, believe it or not I would say egg salad. I know that’s pretty lame but I guess it follows under the category of comfort food.
Unfortunately I’m the only person who thinks that egg salad is anything to write home about, but I’m special I guess lol… So if I was to ask you what you think is the best sandwich ever… what would you say.
Oh, I think I’m changing my mind. A “Monte Christo” has just …read more
