This song is one my my favourites of all time – it is just beautiful. Wendy Matthews is such a great singer and having the backing of a supergroup of musicians is so noticeable in this song. It doesn’t remind me of anything in particular and I’ve never owned the album… think I originally recorded…
Clove Road School
After the party, we stopped by an old schoolhouse that sits on a quiet road in Castleton-on-Hudson. We knew nothing about it – there are no signs or anything explaining what is there. We had no idea whether it was a schoolhouse or old church hall – as there was also an old cemetery there…
Congratulations Rebecca!
The Graduates – our gorgeous niece, Rebecca and her best friend Chelsea at their joint graduation party this weekend. High school seems so long ago but the emotions never change!
Happy 4th of July!
We are just about to hit the road and take historic route 9 back to Brooklyn. We have had a lovely weekend filled of the usuals – a hilarious dinner at Cracker Barrel with Steve and Colette, a visit to Wal-Mart (totally awful as they were renovating!), spending time with family and then – Rebecca’s…
#blogjune – Day 30 – And they lived…
Well we made it! A blog a day for a whole month and for some reason this was easier than last year… but I think I can attribute that to blogging more regularly in general this year. It has been a blast – I haven’t commented on other blogs as much as I would like…
#blogjune – Day 29 – One Day in September
Memories. Off to watch the boys at training and I was so lucky – an old Comeng pulled in to Flinders Street! I love these old trains and there are only a few still running and just my luck… I had never been on one with the new seats! Can you believe this many people…

I am going mental over the Blevins family tree at the moment. I’ve been finding some fabulous stuff… it is all very exciting. So here are some of my favourite historic family photos from my Cleary/Telford family tree. I am obsessed with old photos – I love looking at them but sadly we didn’t have…

#blogjune – Day 26 – Fireflies
On Thursday night as we were walking back from the subway I saw the most amazing sight – fireflies! A few of the big homes on our block have lovely front gardens and the fireflies looked like little drops of amber flickering in the dark. They are really beautiful and it was so dark I…
#blogjune – Day 25 – Farnham Meme
I’m inventing this meme as an excuse to watch John Farnham clips. I’m sharing my top 10 John Farnham songs (in no order) in honor of his latest comeback tour… I wish I was able to see him!! How good is his live?! 1. Love to Shine. I love this SO much. From Whispering Jack……
