It sounded like a very interesting way for me to get to know other community members as well, so I was in! After sign-ups ended, the names were … [Read more...]

No Minivan Mom Here…Hello Kia Sorento!

Dick Clark Dead at 82 – New Year’s Eve Just Won’t Be the Same :(

It has been confirmed by many news stations that Dick Clark has passed away at the age of 82. He apparently suffered a major heart attack earlier this morning. Though he has been on the radio, and then television, since he was a teenager, most of my memories of him were on New Year's Rockin' Eve. As far back as I can remember, we watched the televised showing of the ball dropping in Time's … [Read more...]
