If  I understand this blog hop correctly, today I’m supposed o post songs with thefollong theme:

“The National Day calendar inspires song picks using these keywords: MAIL, SOUP & VACUUM”. 

 OMG that’s a challenge.  But I’ll give it a go.

 First up, the Marvelettes






Next up, Paul McCartney 

Shirley Temple was always a delight







And check out  Freddy Mercury in drag, vacuuming the house....

    Welcome to the 4M dance floor, my new little Songbird! ;)

    Yes, you got this week's theme right on the money! I wish I could say, 'The Check's In The Mail' like Melissa shared this morning. :) 'Please Mr. Postman' by The Marvelettes is an excellent tune. I grew up on The Carpenters' cover of this tune. Paul McCartney and Allison Krauss together make for a nice session today. I always loved little Shirley Temple as a kid. Wasn't she an adorable thing? She passed away almost five years ago.

    I hope you'll join us next week for 'your choice song picks'. That means anything goes! So, get creative and have fun! Have boogietastic week, dearie!

    Welcome to our Monday Blog Hop, and I hope you will return, because, judging from your first picks, you will ROCK! (and yes, you did it right. )Shirley Temple brings back so many childhood memories (watching her old time movies on channel 5 or maybe it was channel 9 or 11 - well, whatever)and Please Mr. Postman is also a great song - but the winner was Queen because that vacuuming in drag was just too, too much. Have a great week and I hope to see you again on these pages. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
