Leading up to Thanksgiving, today's theme is Songs that celebrate things we are thankful for

Well, the first thing about Thanksgiving is ... the food.



And more important, family




And friends



Especially a best friend



If you count your blessings



You realize how much you have to be thankful for

    Awesome playlist. We have more than Plenty to be Thankful For, with an endless choice of Food, Glorious Food. This week would be a great time to make a few phone calls thank people for being your friend, especially your best friend. Well played. Have a blessed Thanksgiving.

    Robin,

    Fantastic 'Thankful' playlist! I never grow tire of hearing "Count My Blessings Instead of Sheep". It's a beautiful sentiment and done so well. Bing Crosby's voice is pure gold! Thanks for being apart of the 4M dance floor, my dear. I hope you and yours have a blessed Thanksgiving and thank you for being a friend. ;) XOXO

    Oh, Bing Crosby. (swoon). I love his voice! And those songs are both such classics, as is "Thank You for Being a Friend". I actually had Sister Sledge on my post and changed my mind at the last minute so "Great Minds". I forgot about the Queen song, shame on me! We do have so much to be thankful for.

 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

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
