Ice Cream and Remembering Dad

So, this evening, after a fine dinner of Lemon Baked Spicy Salmon, rice, beets and peppers, I indulged in the last of the Tillamook Coffee Almond Fudge ice cream. After my second helping – there was just a little bit left in the carton – I thought at first my prolonged craving was induced by […]

just popping Up to say Happy Day

What a fantastic way to send flowers long distance! I received this ‘Bouquet in a Book’ in the snail mail a few days after my foot surgery from my blogger sista & co-honorary Manc bud, L.Marie. Totally unexpected. Thoughtful. And fun. Just like she is 🙂 I’m sharing my ‘adult’ pop-up book bouquet with all […]

Sixty Pho' part two

laura bruno lilly — Mon, 10 Dec 2018 12:43:00 +0000

Back to that postcard…not only did the poster quote aspect of the card resonate with my style sensibilities but it triggered a punny approach in recounting a recent milestone event in my life (as reflected in the post title). Can you guess, yet, what that might be? Hint: keep in mind the correct pronunciation of […]

Terry’s take on these 40 years… June 17, 1978 – June 17, 2018 Many months ago I was rooting around on the internet looking into some music. I happened to come across a young jazz saxophonist named Grace Kelly and was watching her Livestream studio session. I started watching the video and really enjoyed her […]

Quote – On Sorrow, by myself

laura bruno lilly — Sat, 13 Jan 2018 00:55:35 +0000

Been a bit under the weather lately. As I ‘get better’, I find myself perusing all sorts of Youtube tutorials on my fav sidekick instrument – the UKE. And am having fun exploring musical paths yet uncharted. I’ve been immersed in musical possibilities and realized that that door had been closed and re-opened without my […]
