  • Moon Madness

    When I was a little girl, the moon was a mystical, magical place. It was something we’d gaze at and dream dreams to going there and beyond.  Yeah, I’m that old.  I can remember watching the first moon landing. And possibly still secretly hoping for some moon people to pop up and say, “howdy.”  Sigh.…

    Mooning Around

    The hubs took some awesome pictures of the Super Moon last week, so I thought some moon love seemed in order.  My favorite moon song is CCR’s Bad Moon Rising.

I couldn’t afford Dr. Syn, so I went for Moon Pilot,…

  • Bad Moon Rising On my Scenic Route This Week

  • Lunar Things (including a fun hop!)

    I’m excited to be participating in this Lunar Love giveaway! It’s my first and I got hooked because it’s about: paranormal, supernatural, science fiction or space travel element or a book that has something to do with the moon…” Coolness! If you’ve been here before you know I LOVE science fiction, particularly if there’s a little…
