Today, the Kickin’ it Old Skool Blog-a-Thon challenges us to share one of our favorite recipes.

The Kickin’ it Old Skool Blog-a-Thon challenged us to post a selfie illustrating what we aspire to be.

Today on the Kickin’ it Old Skool Blog-a-Thon, we’re encouraged to talk about books.
I’ve done this once or twice already. Earlier in the Blog-a-Thon we were asked to find the first line of the third book on our top bookshelf. This was a problem for me because I have so many bookshelves.
A few months ago, I wrote a post about just how many books my husband and I have, and the dangers of letting bibliophiles get married.Continue reading “Books for the Bibliophile – Old Skool”
Today’s Kickin’ it Old Skool Blog-a-Thon prompt was to post a photo of a much younger me.
My initial reaction was to think that I had not idea where any of my old photographs were. Then I remembered! I still have all my old yearbooks, including my one from Kindergarten.Continue reading “Wee Me – Old Skool”
