Jigsaw puzzles (online) and coloring books (in house) are relaxing pastimes for me. Lisa got me a Secret Garden coloring book several years ago for Christmas. I’m approaching the end of the ones I want to color in it, so I’ve ordered another one. It will arrive this afternoon. It has lots of cute

Disclaimer: Image above is NOT of the raccoon I’ve seen recently. It was taken during a Point Defiance Five Mile Drive several years ago. Obviously people had been feeding it, despite the signs saying not to. There were raccoons every fifty feet or so, hanging by the road, waiting. Like something out of a horror

In the middle of the night, a handful of childhood memories and songs flooded my mind. How many of these do you remember? (I realize I’m carbon dating myself with some of these, you young’uns out there. But hey, they might float your boat, too.
