Just a Quickie

Four Walls @FourWalls (73696) • United States 13h

Yes, I’ve left home again. Yes, I’m in Pigeon Forge again. So this is just a quickie to say hi. I had a lovely drive down. Everything’s getting green, and that’s so fabulous to see after the wild winter we had. It’s exactly...

1965 Songs: What the World Needs Now

Four Walls @FourWalls (73696) • United States 19 Apr

Onward we trudge through the great songs that are now sixty years old. Sometimes you think these songs are quite dated (I’ll admit that quite a few of these songs sound VERY 1965-ish), and other times you think, “REALLY, that...

A popping noise, then a big mess.

Marie Coyle @MarieCoyle (42819) 18 Apr

Last night, dinner was in the oven. Just a casserole, but by some stroke of luck, it was a casserole that required a foil covering, which did help a little to contain the disaster, thank goodness. I was standing by the counter...

1960 Songs: True Love Ways

Four Walls @FourWalls (73696) • United States 18 Apr

Yes, we all know this wasn’t actually recorded in 1960. However, it was released in 1960, so that qualifies it for this countdown of songs that are celebrating their 65th birthday this year. Hey, just like me! Wonder if...

Amber @AmbiePam (97287) • United States 18 Apr

Yesterday, I heard the Amazon delivery guy set packages in front of my door. I went to get something, came back literally a minute later, opened the door, and the packages were gone. Some of you know I receive free things in...

How do you feel about zoos?

Amber @AmbiePam (97287) • United States 17 Apr

Some animals can’t be released back in the wild, and some zoos have breeding programs to keep animals from being wiped off the map, but there is no arguing most zoos don’t have a lot of room for the animals. So I’ve heard...
