The vision of autumn leaves take me back to my childhood where my aunts would take my brother, cousin & I on little expeditions to collect leaves in our neighbor on cold weekend days. After collecting bags of all kinds of leaves, we would go home to make glue from a mixture of water & […]

While searching for an image of a rose that photographed 6 years ago (that I never found), I stumbled across this long forgotten image of a tiger lily from one of my old gardens taken in 2006. They were some kind of hybrid double tiger lily that I loved. Finding this made me smile and […]
People usually get happy at the thought of eating cake. Why though? Is it because cakes are comforting, decadent, stir great memories or is it simply because people just love CAKE? Last week, a friend informed me that she was retiring at the end of the month. It was both sad but happy news as […]
1987… I had my introduction to computers in the 7th grade at Durfee middle school. I LOVED my computer class but I didn’t like my teacher, Mr. Donaldson at all. He was tall, super skinny, high yellow, short but pointy afro and a nose the size of a small Yukon gold potato. He always seemed […]
Typically, a hour before the doors open for the audience of a runway show at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week, you can catch the models doing a practice walk somewhere between their hair and make up styling.

It’s officially summertime & no song gets me more excited about summer than Doug E Fresh’s “Summertime.” “Summertime” was released back in 1989 & I recall Detroit radio station 107.5 WGPR being the only station playing the hell out of this song. 1989 was also the year that I got my 1st job & entered […]
Happy Father’s day to the men out there holding it down for your children while providing an example of what being a man is all about. As we all know, any man can father a child but it takes a real man to help that child grown & learn with love, patience, understanding & an […]
I used to love walking to my job at KFC (Highland Park, MI: Davison & Woodward) listening to my Crystal Waters “Making Happy” maxi single cassette back in the spring/summer of 1991. “Surprise” was & still is my jam. I had so many maxi cassettes & cassette singles back then. Kinda funny thinking about how […]
