Torturing Words

By paw | 10 February 2017 | Category Reminiscing

When Dale and I were kids we always called milk: muck luck or klim (milk spelled backwards). When Mom butchered a word though buyantibiotics.website , it was almost always due to regional influences. She grew up between Seattle, Washington and Ottumwa, Iowa so one of those places was responsible for her saying warsh instead of wash. I […]

In My Lifetime

By paw | 2 February 2017 | Category Reminiscing

This one is for my nieces and nephews. It is a list of some of the social, cultural, and pop culture experiences I’ve had in my lifetime. Fashion trends, technology innovations, and fads that came and went in my time here on this good earth.

Moving

By paw | 27 August 2015 | Category Reminiscing

Dad worked for Shell Oil Company so we moved a fair amount when I was younger; mostly back and forth between Texas and Connecticut. The family started in Alton, Illinois, Dad’s first stateside assignment after WWII. Both Dale and I were born there. Then on to Pasadena, Tx, up to Southport, Ct, back to Pasadena, back up to […]
