Wednesday Medley

Terri has a lot of questions this week.

1.  Do you enjoy fresh peaches?  What is your favorite way to use them in a recipe?

Yes. I do like peaches. Fresh or canned, I like them both.  I don't have any recipes, though.

2.  Have you ever gone the wrong way on a one-way street?  What do you think about Mr. Corrigan's story?   True or False?

Mr. Corrigan’s story is a fairy tale.   Lovely to tell but no basis in reality.

I’ve never gone down a one way street the wrong way, but I’ve had some fun times with a GPS telling me to drive on a road that wasn’t really there.

3.  Tell us about your life when you were 17

The summer I was 17, I had a part time job at the park, running activities for elementary school kids.  I worked weekday mornings, which left me plenty of time to hang out by the pool in the afternoon.  It was the summer that the first Star Wars movie was released, and mhy boyfriend and I saw that film several times.

4.  Do you use emojis when you text, email, or FB message? Do you have a favorite?


Love these guys.


5.  It has been asked many times, but do you have a tattoo?  Do you want to get a tattoo? 

Does a medical tattoo count?  I have tiny marks from when I was receiving radiation therapy.  But I've never had an interest in getting a permanent piece of art on my skin.

6.  Last, but not least, please tell us something about your week!

Drew made it through his surgery without a problem, and he'll be going home either later today or tomorrow.  I am so relieved.

    The first star wars movie. I liked it, but I think I liked John William's musical score even more. Have a great week!

    Love your statement about the GPS and the road that wasn't there. LOL We've had that experience as well. At night. In the country. Yikes! So glad the surgery went well!

    I think the trusted GPS cannot always be trusted. Glad your Drew is doing well.

    Yep- I've followed my GPS down wrong roads too. Thanks for joining the Medley today. I liked the first Star Wars movie but not really any of the others. That was out long after I was 17, though! LOL

    So glad to hear Drew is doing well.

    I have no idea who Mr. Corrigan is or what that story is about. 2nd time in 2 days where someone is talking about something from the news that went right over my head.

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
