Monday Mystery
It’s a mystery to me after a weekend full of exhausting football games how I managed to throw together a blog post. Just like how I won’t give up on my favorite quarterbacks, I find myself unable to give up on my current 1,263-day streak of posting. I was actually looking forward to the college…

Trivial Tuesday – Cover Songs
I was flipping between my two favorite Saturday morning college football programs and had to stop on one channel for a bit while a musician was singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” for the West Virginia fans prior to their game against Penn State. I immediately thought how much I’ve always enjoyed the John Denver…

Monday Mystery
It’s a mystery to me as to why I haven’t visited an Olga’s Kitchen restaurant in years. Olga’s is a Michigan based restaurant that began in 1970 as a Greek-American family restaurant chain and currently has 25 locations.

Also, I was very happy to discover my favorite oldies station has been renamed classic…

Peanut M&M’s have been my favorite candy since childhood and to this day are a favorite stocking stuffer at the holidays and an absolute must to have with my popcorn while watching movies. This photo captures…

Monday Mystery
It’s a mystery to me as to why I was as cranky as the cranky great blue heron when I took this shot while out on my morning walk with Harper. Was it the rainy start to the day or that it’s going to feel like 101 degrees tomorrow or that I left my Nikon…

Friday Favorite
Another new weekly blogging theme and today’s favorite was a surprise to me. While I’m a lifelong Democrat (with some days this summer as an Independent), I don’t believe I’ve ever said watching a Democratic National Convention was a favorite event, until the rockin’ convention this year. There was a great concert vibe mixed in…

Trivial Tuesday
Trivial Tuesday: Sylvester Stallone or Arnold Schwarzenegger? Looking through their filmography I discovered I’ve watched more of their movies than I remembered and while both are favorites, Stallone’s Rocky and The Expendables franchises and his tv series Tulsa King (season 2 premieres September 15) has him winning this Trivial Tuesday.
