I'm just another working mom seeking a few moments of Zen and zinfandel between soccer practice and supper. My former beach bartender husband founded MouseCalls Computer Services here in Nashville. I believe laughter is the best medicine, especially when regularly administered with a good glass of wine, or three. Email me at blondemomblog@gmail.com

I Can Still Smell the Coppertone and Bain de Soleil




Virgin Islands 1970, originally uploaded by blondemom.

Who is this mystery couple of international intrigue, circa 1970, and is it possible that this woman could have given birth to a fabulous baby girl (hint, hint) the previous summer?


Are they extras for a James Bond flick?

Speaking of extras, need any for the Osmond family reunion?

Can you tell I am having fun with my new printer slash scanner slash copier toy from Kodak?

(Which I plan on revealing more about next week during a big Thanksgiving giveaway!)

Oh, and 1971 called. I have your comforter and Yosemite Sam alarm clock.

    The second photo is priceless! Not only for the very dated family portrait, but the little blonde girl (Hmmm) peeking out from behind the posed gang is precious!

    How great is that. That couple does look like they stepped straight out of a Bond movie.

    I love these!

    I am in the middle of scanning in our family photos. I’m writing them to a CD to include with each person’s Christmas gift.
