Postcard Collection

It was truly tempting to call this “Postcards from the Edge” after the week I just had, but, I resisted. As I mentioned in another blog, Tuesday I had 12-13 hours of straight driving, with one small break for lunch. On the way home, I was feeling fatigued and thought to get a candy bar to give me a chocolate ‘lift’. So, I stopped in one of the nice rest stations along the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and saw one … Read entire article »

List of Books

December 2nd, 2007 | Add a Comment

  I am a hopeless listmaker. My blog testifies to that. Recently having moved some of my things from my house, and having unpacked most books from the barn, I have put together a list of the books I currently own that are dusted off and put up on the shelf. Likely more to come. Some were gifts, and even one on this list I had a part in helping the author!   Title I Talk Back to the Devil The Final days Ben Carson Love, Sex, and God Strange Cults in America Morning by Morning Uncommon Sense Alzheimer's Disease Up Close and Personal Against the Night The Priest, The Woman, and the Confessional Why America Doesn’t Work The Salt and Light Solution Why I Believe Starlight and Time Life Stories Walking by The Spirit Spectacular America Europe and the Prince That Shall Come The Seduction of Christianity Dinner With a Perfect Stranger The Moral … Read entire article »

My NEW Mp3 Collection

October 24th, 2006 | 1 Comment

Most who visit my blog know that my external hard drive, where I store all my music, failed. I have not been able to get together the money needed to look into a data recovery specialist, although, a few of them quoted me fair prices, well below the 1,000 – 2,000 dollar standard, it was still steep for me in light of my limited income. I have that on the back burner for now, perhaps I will still be able to do that in the future. What was so hard for me to live without was my music collection. So I have dedicated some time to getting it back, and I am happy to report that I have most of my music back, with a few things still missing. While I was at it, I added … Read entire article »

Updated MP3 collection

December 22nd, 2005 | 3 Comments

I never get tired of adding to my MP3 collection, and on this occasion, I had some help from my son. As you can see I have been looking up some Cliff Richard music, but I have been looking for something that I don’t think can be found in the U.S. Years ago, I attended my church to see a movie called HIS LAND, with lovely music sung by Cliff Richard, in particular, He’s Everything to Me. If anyone knows where to find this CD in the U.S., let me know! Here is newest to my collection of MP3’s: 1. Art Garfunkel – Amy Grant – The Animals’ Christmas by Jimmy Webb – 06 – The Friendly Beasts.mp3 2. Blackwood Brothers – He’s Everything to Me.mp3 3.

I have a lot on cassette tape as well, but trying to replace them with new CD’s. Here is my Christmas mp3 … Read entire article »
