  • 501 Blog Posts! Let’s Party!

    Welcome to my five hundred and first blog post! Last month I mentioned I was going to hit 500 blog posts—if I survived the year. Well, Fate has a sense of humor. Or a strong sense of irony. I’m not sure which. Or maybe it’s both. I survived. And got the flu on Day One…

  • AnaBanana (and Awesome!) Revisited 🙂

    If you’re new to my blog, you might wonder why I giveaway an AnaBanana gift basket every month. Well, the reason is twofold. First, I want to give back to visitors who pause to leave a comment. Bloggers can be very needy. Comments make us feel needed. Or at least “seen.” LOL Second, I’m a…

  • Friday Fun Video and Links

    Maybe a year ago, my daughter-in-law introduced me to Kid History. They are on BoredShortsTV, if you want to see all of them. I don’t know where they got the idea to have their kids tell the family stories, then have the adults act them out, but oh my, it has turned into a fun–and…
