MEMORY OF THE DAY: COFFEE It’s funny what triggers some of these Memories of the Day.

Memory of the Day: “Generally” Speaking
There is s song in the movie “White Christmas” with the lyrics “What do you do with a general when he stops being a general?” The point in the movie is that a WW II major general has retired and is running a ski resort in Vermont.

Memory of the Day: Paddling on the Tangipahoa River
Throwback Thursday/Memory of the Day: Tangipahoa Paddling. Playing around with old photos this morning and ran across this one.

Memory of the Day: 49 years and counting
Figured I had posted the few pictures we have of our wedding enough that everyone probably knows them by heart. Don’t think I ever posted the wedding announcement from the paper before though. It is very likely that this photo was taken when Nancy was 19 because she had just turned 20 about a month… Continue reading Memory of the Day: 49 years and counting
