What a whirlwind this year has been. I can't believe it's about to end and a new one begin! Chuck and I attended a couple of stamp and postcard shows and started selling on Ebay. Chuck is selling movies and stamps under Irishjew40. I've started a line of jewelry called Jai'ne and have set up sales on Etsy.com called Jainesplace. We started a new ballroom dance, it was fun while it lasted, but

Memorial Day Weekend found Chuck and I in Kansas City for a postcard show. For those who don't know, I buy and sell vintage postcards (dating pre-1940) so if you have some to sell, please contact me. It's always a lot of fun to meet up with past dealers and introduce ourselves to new dealers while renewing or selling some of your stash. Inveritably, I end up buying more then I sell, but as

It occurred to me after hearing from a distant family member that this is a good place to insert a call to all those long, lost relatives I've been tracking for over 30+ years. Our family tree has roots stretching over many miles, but most of the above settled in and around North Central Arkansas and Southwest Missouri. I'm particularly interested in the Dockett (Doc) Hammonds and George Grant

It's a beautiful ice sculpture and someone was very talented. I'm assuming it relates to 9/11.

I have just come from the grocery store where I spent over $128! In that total was a package of hot dogs, bacon and lunch meat. There was no milk either. If you don't believe it's time for a change in politics, you better think again.Going hand in hand with that statement, I was reading the newspaper this weekend and a savvy gentleman pointed out that the American public will be looking at $3.75

Truthfully, I've not seen this movie, but from what I've heard and read it's very troubling to me. The author is an admitted atheist which is his choice, his business. However, when he writes a trilogy of books with the soul purpose (no pun intended) to implant doubts among children there is a God and wants to see the idea abolished, he becomes a real symbol of evil to every religious

In light of the Iowa and New Hampshire primaries, I must state my opinion. As a registered voter who exercises that priviledge religiously, I have that right. Besides this is my blog. I've said it more then once that campaigning should be banned. We hear the same rhetoric every time, at every election and people still fall for it. I propose a non-political, third party be established and put

Two days into the New Year and already I have new material. Working in Risk Management, one of the things we get are complaint calls whenever someone notices one of our delivery people driving irresponsibly. I'd say 2 out of 3 are legitimate complaints, but the other one third would be comical if it wasn't indicative of the number of ignorant people driving cars! We get numerous calls saying "

This has been a full year. Some of it good, some of it better, but the best part is we're still here to talk about it! Chuck and I are very fortunate to have a multitude of family and friends who live close and we're able to spend time with. You know who you are, so I won't start naming names. I look back and I realize we've been pretty busy and much blessed. We're still working on our

For whatever reason I decided to start a blog and you decided to read it is probably beyond both of our imaginations. Perhaps I mistakenly think someone will want my opinion, advice, ideas, criticism or maybe just a laugh. So I've appropriately chosen to start this "journal" on January 1, 2008 at a time when I'm skidding into 59 in a couple of months. If you're 80 years old (like my dad or even
