My house that went bump in the night
This is my true story that is not an attempt to validate nor dispel the supernatural. I am simply telling what took place. In February 2018 my family moved into a 2 story house that was 113 years old. It is made of those really old red bricks but looks decent on the outside. One night a few days after moving in my husband was walking to the kitchen without any lights on and said he felt something run past his leg in the hallway. He turned on the nearest light but did not see anything and we decided it must have been the cat.

Happy Halloween Playlist
A different take on Halloween When it comes to Halloween, everyone has different tastes. My playlist of eight spooktacular tunes is for those who enjoy the fun element of the evening and want to expound upon the 'What if"? rather than having everything laid out for them (literally and figuratively). During the late 1960s and early 1970s when I actively participated in Halloween and went trick or treating it was all about fun. We did not have today's technology so much was left to the imagination. My playlist is songs from the 60s,70s, and 80s. I will be telling a tale along the way that is somewhat related that encouraged me to choose the songs you will be listening to. If you enjoy the playlist and or my tale please leave a heart and a tip and I thank you in advance.

Tom Bradbury Reposez en paix
Last night I went to the Vocal Creator's Lounge on Facebook where I learned of the tragic death of Tom Bradbury in a fire at his home. Fellow writers have been expressing their dismay on his page and have also been writing tributes to him. Tom often shared his page views and seemed excited when his stories gained readers. He was an encourager and a motivator whether he knew it or not.

Rawhide Fun FactsTop Story - September 2021
Just the facts For those of younger generations, Rawhide might only mean the song that John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd sang in their 1980 hit movie The Blues Brothers. The original theme song was from Rawhide, the American Western television series that aired on CBS on Friday nights, from January 9, 1959, to September 3, 1965. It moved to Tuesday nights from September 14, 1965, until January 4, 1966. The theme song was sung by Frankie Laine and still sends chills down the spine of longtime fans.

Laughing to tears decades later
When I was 14 and my cousin Denise was 16 we had a close encounter that we continue to laugh about today. The two of us often had mishaps together such as the Friday the 13th we missed the school bus and had to walk over a mile home from the elementary school. When this particular incident first happened we were initially terrified but over time it has become a fond childhood or rather teenage memory.
