Sunday Bookends: What is that family doing?
It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing.

A recap and thoughts on The Hardy Boys 1977 episode “The Mystery of Witches Hollow”
I’ve been watching and writing about episodes from the Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mystery Show from the 1970s. For the first season the show would switch back and forth between The Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew. Last time around, I wrote about a Nancy Drew episode. Now here we are back to a Hardy Boys episode …

Sunday Bookends: A trip to a used book sale, the same books, more canal journeys
It’s time for our Sunday morning chat. On Sundays, I ramble about what’s been going on, what the rest of the family and I have been reading and watching, and what I’ve been writing. Some weeks I share what I am listening to. I want to start by sharing that today is my sister-in-law Kim’s birthday so happy birthday to …

A book sale, a trip to a garden center, and what’s up with the turkey vultures in our area?
Today for our chat I am pulling out some tea, cocoa, lemonade, and even iced tea. What are you in the mood for? This week’s weather isn’t really calling for lemonade since it will still be fairly cold, but I think lemonade can be good on any day. I’m going to be having some peppermint …

Classic Movie Impressions: That Touch of Mink
I needed something to distract me from every day life last week so I watched That Touch of Mink with Doris Day and Cary Grant. I am very certain I’ve watched either all or part of this movie before but it has been years so I didn’t remember much about it. This is quite a …

The Hardy Boys Nancy Drew Mysteries Recap: The Mystery of the Diamond Triangle (with spoilers)
A few months ago, I wrote about the first Nancy Drew centered episode of the Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys show from the 1970s. For the first season of the show, the episodes switched off each week between the two mystery solvers — with one week featuring The Hardy Boys and the next week featuring Nancy Drew. …
