Mental Mama has nominated me to be the next in the oddly specific gratitude blog hop, which is oddly awesome to me. Some days I still wonder who all is actually reading this drivel. Here’s what to do: 1. Add to the list with your own oddly specific bits of gratitude. Add as few or…
A long loop walk with Ellie B aka Dogamous Pyle this week took us behind the apartment complex more than a few blocks away from our home in the Syracuse city neighborhood home of Eastwood. I noticed a Fed Ex truck stopped on the extreme right side of the lot, hugging the bit of unkempt…
Are you hanging in there after our first seven days of November, Nano Poblano teammates? We’ve accomplished plenty. Fish of Gold started the wildly entertaining Blog Hop story. Who, what and why? We are in the middle of something fun, funny and very entertaining. I began Blog Hop II: The Name Game. Do you think…

They say imitation is the cheapest greatest form of thievery flattery. So with no shame at all, I’m putting a small twist to the most excellent Nano Poblano group effort short story started by Fish of Gold. Yes, Team Pepper, Little Pepper, my friends in November bloggery, I am starting Nano Poblamo Blog Hop II…
I have been chosen to continue the Nano Poblano Blog Hop Story that Fish of Gold started. Thank you grandmalin over at Breathing Space for passing it on to me! The Blog Hop rules are simple: 1. Add a new post on your blog with these rules, the story so far, and who’s bee tagged.…
Fred Funk is a friendly guy. Great name, for sure. Part button-down, part soul music. Everywhere the professional golfer goes, people follow like he’s the pied piper. He’s not big and strapping like some of these dudes who bash the little white golf ball so far you can’t stand next to them by the tee…
Joan Laura knew she wanted to do something to really show military members how much she appreciates their service for their country. So the Syracuse dentist — Dr. Laura, as her patients lovingly and pleasingly call her — decided to set aside one day of her practice at the Eastwood Dental Office in Syracuse where…
