This weekend was the annual Shearer Family Christmas get- together and as usual, Tim and I ventured to the country to attend. On our way home after a day of reminiscing, catching up on the year’s events, and partaking of the usual scrumptious treats, Tim asked me if there was anything I missed about home. […]
Our friend Tina of Distracted Mind has recommended we eschew our bandwith hog, b2evolution, and move on to Wordpress as the vehicle/container/platform or whatever you call it for this blog, and we always follow Tina’s sage advice. So, I guess we will soon get a new “skin,” as the young folks call the trappings of […]
On a snowy afternoon while Tim was researching Riverside Cemetery he stumbled onto the Barbarowa Neighborhood site. Tim and I had a hard time pronouncing the neighborhood’s name until one of our friends (who goes to church at Saint Stanislaus Church over on East 65th) told us that we should be pronouncing the “w” […]
Our friend Roger Bundy has begun to blog this month as the Cleveland Equanimous Philosopher at http://www.fsgf.blogspot.com/
I’m sure you’ll find him as charming and as interesting as we do. Note his measured comments on the “Poor Richard” issue.

We had coffee the other day, here at the electronic cottage, with a very interesting person, a realtor from Smythe, Cramer/Howard Hanna who has a good grasp of the real-estate realities of our northern Ohio market. His name is Jim Robinson, and his name has kept cropping up in conversations lately when we talk with […]
As a blogger, today I’m writing defensively. Before anyone questions my fact-checking concerning the title of my post, please let me inform you that my definition of a curiosity comes from the Oxford English Dictionary, and I quote, it is something upon which there is “care or attention carried to excess or unduly bestowed upon […]
Today is a great day to be in Brooklyn Centre because today is the annual Holiday Art Sale and Candlelight Christmas Home Tour put on by Art House and Archwood-Denison Concerned Citizens.
Sheryl Hoffman, executive director of Art House and her wonderful staff have put together a great sale featuring seventeen local artists who will offer […]
Tim and I had the pleasure of attending Thomas Frontini’s art show opening at convivium33 gallery. I am at a loss for words on how to describe Thomas’s paintings and the beauty of the gallery. They are both must-sees.
For a preview of the paintings showcased at the gallery, visit the Frontini website, but […]
