What are the earliest memories of the place you lived in as a child? I grew up in a split level ranch on a cul-de-sac with 10 other houses. Many of them like ours. When it was originally built, I'm sure it was not intended to become home to a family with eight children. When … Continue reading Stand in the Place Where You Live
Always Something to Remind Me
Today's writing idea: A song comes on the radio and instantly, you’re transported to a different time and place. Which song(s) bring back memories for you and why? Be sure to mention the song, and describe the memory it evokes. The radio in my car crapped out earlier this winter. My husband got me a … Continue reading Always Something to Remind Me
It’s Not My Favorite, But I Do It Well
Back On The Chain Gang: Tell us all about the least favorite job/task/chore that you get stuck doing routinely. What is it about this duty that you can’t stand?

I think I was dressed in a skirt, my saddle … Continue reading Halloween Dance 1979
Sweet Dreams: Daily Prompt
Dreams are a funny thing. My husband can recount his dreams with such detail, vivid color and action, it amazes me. Stories of bank robbing with Clint Eastwood, leaping tall buildings in a single bound; his dreams are usually a reflection of what we watched on television that night or what he read on Buzz … Continue reading Sweet Dreams: Daily Prompt
We Got the Beat!
Today's writing challenge: Have you ever played in a band? Tell us all about that experience of making music with friends. Technically, I've never "played" in a band, unless you count the voice as an instrument; in which case we can count singing with the jazz band in high school. I was part of a … Continue reading We Got the Beat!
The Hangover
Every Sunday or Monday morning I read on Facebook about many of my "friends" who are suffering from a hangover. It really shouldn't surprise me all that much; although frankly, it gets me a little sad. Now, I will be the first to admit to a dozen or so mornings when the drinking from the … Continue reading The Hangover

Daily prompt: What giant step did you take where you hoped your leg wouldn’t break? Was it worth it, were you successful in walking on the moon, or did your leg break?
