Music on Monday


Scottish-born Canadian artist Johnny Reid has a heck of a voice.  A little bit Bruce Springsteen, a little bit Billy Joel, a little bit Joe Cocker and a little bit John Denver is how we would describe this artist's style.  Fans of R&B and soft pop sounds are sure to like Johnny Reid.  We were given the opportunity to review Johnny Reid's DVD "Heart & Soul" and found his somewhat raspy, gravely voice to be very pleasant.  However, we're a little too Rock & Roll at heart to love this type of music.  I would have liked to see him and his band kick it up a notch and take advantage of that sexy raspy voice!!

If you enjoy newer Rod Stewart or even country music check out his newly released US CD, "Introducing Johnny Reid".  He currently has songs on iTunes and for those in Canada, you can check out his upcoming tour dates and browse all his CDs at JohnnyReid.com.  

All in all, I think my mother may really enjoy Johnny Reid.  And from watching the DVD of his final concert of 2010 in Canada, I think he enjoys the older ladies as well! *wink*















We received Johnny Reid "Heart & Soul" free of charge from EMI/Manhattan Records for the purpose of this review.  No other compensation was received and all opinions are unbiased.

Endo Review and Giveaway!

We're so excited to introduce you to Endo ! Endo is here for all your outdoor t-shirt needs with incredible graphic designs to wear.  Cyclist?  Camper?  They're here for us all.  Seriously, what's better than a bright yellow tee with a huge tricycle on it?  Yes, a huge yellow real tricycle would be nice but hey, you couldn't wear that and it would undoubtedly be much harder to come by! We were happy to discover that the Endo t-shirt is longer than some which is definitely a bonus.  You know, no risk of the bad "low rise jeans - shorter tee - don't bend over or sit" dilemma.  It's also pretty dang soft and comfy. In addition to this great t-shirt, Endo also sent their logo tote bag.  These kind of backpack tote bags, or "man bags" as all the local teens call them (because all the boys in junior high have them!) are perfect for a light backpack to carry a water bottle, camera, cell phone, snacks, etc., for an impromptu hike, nature walk ...

Sunshine and a Wasp Tale

Where is the sunshine?  The other day it came out for almost the entire day and it was glorious!  Did you see it at your house too? I miss the sunshine.  Kind of like I miss that little girl in the scrapbook page (who is now 16!). Now that my kids are grown or almost grown I also miss those kid experiences.  Playing outside with no real purpose, the sweet little voices, the unconditional hugs.  When they were little, my kids loved to play in the yard and at the park.  Personally, I have a love/hate relationship with the park and backyard swing sets .  Many years ago we had one of those big sturdy wooden swing sets that had a fort look-out, swings and a slide.  It was painted with a lovely dark green enamel paint and occupied its own sand lot on the side of the house.  Unfortunately, the local wasps also thought the swing set was lovely.  They built their little nests in every corner of that thing.  One day my youngest was out in...
