Brett Young's latest album, Across the Sheets, ends with the remake of a Tim McGraw classic - "Don't Take the Girl". It was Tim's first #1 single off of his 1994 album Not A Moment Too Soon.

Not long ago, there was a bar full of patrons having a good time like any other day down in Key West. Nothing I'm sure had happened out of the ordinary that day to anyone until this...IN WALKS KENNY CHESNEY AND GIVES THEM AN IMPROMPTU PERFOMANCE! Yes! This recently happened at an establishment down in the Florida Keys. Wouldn't that be the coolest thing to be out somewhere, just hanging out with friends or family…
Since today is National Cat Day, I thought I would share this adorable picture of my cat Buttercup that I took earlier today. I want to draw your attention to how he is snuggled under the blanket asleep. HE did that, not me! I just put the blanket down for him on the couch and went to the grocery store. I came home and found him like this - sound asleep. I put groceries away,…
I grew up a HUGE fan of Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. I watched it all the time and thought it was a big deal to go on the trolley ride through the neighborhood at Idlewild Park in Pennsylvania! Late Sautrday night, I was scrolling through Netflix and found the documentary "Won't You be my Neighbor?" about Fred Rogers. It mostly covered how he got into television, how his work expanded into the show we all know,…
Today is National Chocolate Chip cookie Day! I don't know about you, but they are BY FAR my favorite kind of cookies. Some like them crunchy, some like them soft and gooey. I belong to the latter group...what about you? I can' think of many things that make a better dessert than some of these cookies and a glass of milk. I really try to not indulge myself nearly as often as I did when…

Sunday afternoon I went to see the movie Oppenheimer starring Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr, Emily Blunt and others. It's a movie that entertains you and makes you think at the same time. I thought the performances were very good. I also thought it's a little difficult to follow, but not so much that you get lost - I am someone who can get lost in a movie somewhat easily, but I was fine. If…
