Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Safety First? (May 2013)

Pace wanted to wear a helmet to be safe one of the first times he cut the grass in our old house but apparently, the open-toed sandals weren’t on either of our radars as a potential safety issue!

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – I Don’t Think I Told Him To Grow A Beard But He Did Anyhow! (October 2017)

Seven years ago, the mother of a young patron at the branch I was working at asked if her son could meet with me to learn more about being a librarian. We set a date to meet, had a great conversation and I thought that was the end of it. So I was surprised when […]

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Happy 80th Birthday Dad!

I didn’t get a chance to make an updated video so this one I made four years ago during quarantine will have to suffice to celebrate my dad’s milestone 80th birthday. Love you lots! (At least we all look four years younger in these photos!)

Secular Sunday – Elvis Presley Wedding Chapel

Did I mention we’re going to Vegas for Easter?   What’s that old line – if money is your God, then Vegas is Heaven?  And I think that makes Elvis the analogy’s Jesus. 😉

Music Monday – “He said ‘Son, you ever been to Vegas?’ I said ‘No’/He said ‘That’s where we’re gonna go, You need a change of pace’/And when we hit the strip with all the wedding chapels and the neon signs/He said ‘I left my wallet in El Segundo’ and proceeded to take two grand of mine/We made tracks to the Mandalay Bay hotel/Asked the bell boy if he’d take me and my monkey as well?”

Such a good song.  Loved the Robbie Williams documentary on Netflix too! “Me and My Monkey” – Robbie Williams
