Oliver Hardy Locations Around Harlem
December 19th, 2006
As it was my first time in Harlem, Georgia, I wanted to make sure that I took the time to scout the area and find all the relevent landmarks of the hometown in which Oliver Hardy was born. I was a little disappointed that there was not a formal tour of the area, nor even a map pinpointing the locations, but since the town was so incredibly small, it wasn’t hard to for the locals to point us in the right direction – and even accompany us to the cemetery.
The Tiny Mystery

Before you click the “Read the rest of this entry>>” button, please go back and look over the posting found here, which describes our kitten Tiny’s ascent to the top of the cupboards.

Myrtle Beach 2006 – The Fun Begins with Passing the Hat
December 17th, 2006
Although we are only a week away from Christmas Eve, temperatures are expected to reach the 60’s today. Already it is 53 degrees and it is only 8:30 a.m. Last week the temperatures went from the sixties to nine degrees and back again.

I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas Tree
December 16th, 2006
I am endlessly fascinated by nostalgic photographs depicting my family at Christmas. Not only the ones with me in them, but also snapshots that include my parents and relatives…well, heck anyone who stood in front of a tree in the fifties or sixties is alright with me – especially trees in your traditional white or silver variations. The gifts from that era are really cool to gawk at too. For instance in the shot below from Christmas 1960, we can see all the neat games and toys that would fetch a pretty penny on eBay today, nestled under the tree and ready to be destroyed.
