Merle Haggard is one of the very few country and western artists whose music I truly enjoy.  I remember going with my mother and father to see him perform at the Saddle Rack in San Jose years ago.  They both loved his music and it was such a treat to go see him perform thereContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 363-If We Make It Through December”

Oh, how sweet it is.  

I watched "The Hobbit: The Battle Of The Five Armies" tonight, the last of the three-part saga, and the last of our adventures in Middle Earth.  I remember seeing the Shire on the screen for the first time thirteen years ago and letting the movies take me visually to that wonderful world to share inContinue reading “365 Day Project-Day 361-The Last Goodbye”
