Nipper

When I was a little girl, we used to take Lee Highway to go around the Northern Virginia suburbs. When we got close to Merrifield, we would always see this huge figure of Nipper, the dog. Nipper was the mascot for RCA records. I loved watching this big dog and the record player from the back seat of my Daddy’s car as we drove by, I don’t believe it is there any more. But it was fun to find this old photo of a childhood landmark.

Stand By Me

May 13th, 2010

One of my favorite songs from long ago is “Stand By Me.” I just love the idea of having someone in your life so loyal to you that they would be by your side – no matter what.

Then a movie came out with that title. It was a really good movie – very well written and totally believable dialogue and story line. Haven’t seen that movie in a very long time, so I thought it would be fun to pop it in the DVD player and watch it while doing laundry and some general housework.

Gypsy – One of My Favs

April 28th, 2010

I have always been a fan of Stevie Nicks. I love just about every song that she has done on her own, and I love the songs by Fleetwood Mac. I would be thrilled to meet her some day.

Old Bikes

April 22nd, 2010

My step-dad used to tell us stories of the early motorcycles. Of course he owned several of them, including an Indian that he bought the first year that they came out. Oh I wish he had kept that bike!
