Happy Father’s Day

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jun 20, 2010 in Celebrations, Pop Culture

Today, we, in the United States, and 55 other countries of the world are honor Fathers. The first Father’s Day celebration is generally considered to have been on June 19, 1910. It started in 1909 when Sonora Smart Dodd of Spokane, Washington, heard a sermon at Central Methodist Episcopal Church about the new Mother’s Day [...]

April Fool

Posted by Joan Reeves on Apr 1, 2010 in Celebrations, Pop Culture, Random Bits

I won’t bother with the history of April Fools Day since Wiki has done such a good job of it. If you click over to Wiki, be sure and read the list of gags perpetrated on this day. Some are ROTFLMAO funny. Others are rather lame. Once, I had wanted to buy a house over [...]

Welcome to 2010

Posted by Joan Reeves on Jan 1, 2010 in Celebrations, Life Changes, Pop Culture, This Writer's Life

Happy New Year, one and all! I wish you all blessings of the New Year. As I said on my other blog, I have only two goals this year. I want to be healthier, and I want to be happier. With everything I do, I’m going to ask: Will this make me healthy? Will this [...]

If you still haven’t purchased that big memorable, once-in-a-lifetime present for the guy in your life, now’s the time to take action and get Mayweather/Pacquiao tickets for what is being called [...]

Forgiveness: 12th Day of Christmas

Posted by Joan Reeves on Dec 19, 2009 in Celebrations, Life Changes, This Writer's Life

Today is the last post in my 12 Days of Christmas. Forgiveness is the gift suggestion today, and it’s something that won’t cost you anything out of your pocket. Instead, it will actually benefit you as much as the recipient. We all have people in our lives who have wronged us. Have they apologized, sincerely [...]

Romantic Movies: 10th Day of Christmas

Posted by Joan Reeves on Dec 11, 2009 in All Things Girly, Celebrations, Consumer Smarts, Pop Culture, This Writer's Life

Today’s gift suggestions are for movies that women like. Even better, though these are romantic movies, they’re so well written with tons of humor and so well acted that men will like them too. Price Range: Low. They’re all under $20.00, actually less than $15.00 in most cases. The links are to Amazon, but you [...]

Food: 9th Day of Christmas

There is one daily task that every family on the planet must undertake: to feed the family each evening. I don’t know about you, but some days, I’m just worn out by dinner time yet I still need to put a meal of some kind on the table. Even when the family helps out, which [...]

Writing Pens: 8th Day of Christmas

I’m adding a verse to the traditional 12 Days of Christmas song, and it goes like this: “On the 8th day of Christmas, my true love sent to me, 8 writing pens. . . .” Why? Because I love beautiful writing pens and think everyone should have a quality writing instrument. Actually, I buy a [...]

Time Tracker: 7th Day of Christmas

Posted by Joan Reeves on Dec 8, 2009 in Celebrations, Consumer Smarts, My Literary License, This Writer's Life

Today’s gift suggestion is a bit unorthodox, but it’s something that will help you get organized, stay on task, and make the most of your time. There are a lot of ways to keep up with time, from grandfather clocks to wristwatches. Of course, we’re not so much interested in telling time as we are [...]
