I Followed The Yellow Brick Road
The Yellow Brick Road is more than just a path to the Emerald City; it symbolizes self-discovery, growth, and transformation. For all of us, each yellow brick represents the building blocks of our lives, the experiences, and lessons that shape who we are.

This is the third story that involves murder and Kmart. At first I thought…..what is it with Kmart but I guess because so much of our lives was centered around the workplace I guess that is where most of our life stories come from. It probably would not be any different if we worked at…

Did you ever have a song that every time it comes on you have a flashback of a memory? Even decades later? That is what happens to me when David Bowie’s 1975 hit “Fame” come on the radio. And of course I quickly remind sweetie about that memory each time. In the late 70’s when…

Ai says the song Blue Suede Shoes symbolizes 1950’s youth culture, fashion, and pride, where a pair of expensive or stylish shoes is treated as a treasured possession that should not be damaged or scuffed especially when dancing. In looking back and even now I think we can honestly say we were not “label” people.…

I have some very vivid memories of being in the kitchen of our first home. There was the very popular harvest gold appliances with matching wall paint. We had indoor/outdoor carpet in the kitchen but that did not last long. I I remember specifically standing in the kitchen making spaghetti and listening to Stevie Wonder…
