My Sunday Share this week is a lovely blog called Of Opinions. It’s definitely not the political ball of anger leftist/rightist page you might assume it to be – current political climate aside. It’s a nice blog from a twenty something. I enjoyed reading this piece: Of Not Writing a Diary In a way, it’s a…

A Day in the Life, 2018, and a Month in 1940: Part Four
“Dobre popowoodnew!” as she crawls from the living room after her long nap. I say good afternoon in Polish slowly, and spell it (incorrectly) even slower. She doesn’t reply but keeps making slow progress towards the bathroom. “How are ya feeling?” I ask as cheerfully as possible but I already sense, and brace myself. She…
A Hello and a Little Update
Hey everyone. I feel that right away I need to tell you Babu is doing well! 🙂 Yes, I have been away from the blog for a while. Whenever this happens, which some of you long time followers know happens a lot, I feel its tug. When I’m not working on the blog or transcribing…
Not Until Marriage
There’s been some talk in these pages that I’ve left out. It’s talk like this: Thursday, September 7th, 1939 Jakey was certainly in a love-ly mood. Couldn’t get enough. Only for a while he put the lights out and I asked for them back. Now, I am not here to dish on the juicy details…
Happy Holidays! (I’m Trying.)
Wow. I have been away from this blog for so very long. It’s true. It’s also true that I think about this blog every day. But, eh, life. I have to admit, I was nervous to start typing and posting again. But, as it usually happens, once I began, it all melted away. Babu, myself,…
Sharing is Caring, or is it?
This is what I’m musing about on a Sunday. Sundays are “Sunday Share” days, as you know, and I will get to that next week because I have some love to share, don’t you worry. But first, something has been bothering me. It’s about the friendly way to share, and the, well, I don’t know…
Don’t be a wall flower!
Before I begin to spill on all the juicy gossip of November, 1938, I want to encourage you to leave a comment with a date important to you so you can find out what happened on that day in 1934, 35, 36, 37 or 38. Don’t be a wall flower! Blogging interaction is as fun…
The Set Up: Vote for your favorite vintage photo
Yay! Woot Woot! This is my 300th blog post. What a journey this has been. And I’m still in love with it all. I would like all of you to help me with a 300th post celebration. I need your involvement! Tomorrow’s post will show all of the vintage images I have posted so far…
What I learned from the April A to Z Challenge
If I don’t write it out, I wont know it. That’s not something I learned from this challenge. That’s something I learned either from writing or from my life. After anything worthy I like to write a reflection because if I learned something from an activity, I might not have really learned it unless I…
Update
I couldn’t believe it. I was looking at pictures from 1936, 37, 38, and I kept saying “I remember this day!” And the clearly organized notes on the back of most of the images verified it was true. I had read about, transcribed, and wrote about the days these images captured, in some ways better…
Sunday Share: How do you want your A to Z Challenge?
What kind of response to the April A to Z Challenge would you like to read? What about an A-Z challenge about Haiku? Or riddles? or Science Fiction? What a blog that is doing all three? I LOVE it! It is so well done and makes my inner – and let’s face it outer geek…
Sunday Share: B+W
Lingering Visions is my Sunday Share for this week. Now only is she doing the April A to Z but this blog is also jam packed with other creative endeavors, too. As a writer, some one who is always using my words, thinking about words, writing words, reading words, even creating images with words, it’s…
