Vintage Friday: Singalong 1961 by Flossie Benton Rogers

My elementary school friends and I always loved music class. It was a period unlike any other—loud and entertaining rather than solemn and studious. Basically we had fun singing songs under the leadership of Mr. Lyons. Tall, thin, bespeckled, gentlemanly, and personable, he would play the clarinet as we sang along. My favorite song was… Continue reading Vintage Friday: Singalong 1961 by Flossie Benton Rogers

With… Continue reading Mythic Monday: Chakra Gemstones by Flossie Benton Rogers

Do you recognize the handsome face of Richard Egan? My preferred Elvis films have never been those most adored by The King’s fans.

Mythic Monday: The Boobrie by Flossie Benton Rogers

  Not to be confused with a Kelpie, the Boobrie is a Scottish fae that possesses the wondrous ability to shapeshift into a water horse. Since the Boobrie salivates at the thought of cows and fat lambs—its favorite snacks, along with succulent otters, ships transporting barnyard animals along the coast of Scotland risk being accosted.… Continue reading Mythic Monday: The Boobrie by Flossie Benton Rogers

Vintage Friday: Scottish Breakfast 1789 by Flossie Benton Rogers

With history being made in Scotland today, however the vote goes, we can’t help but to start off with a good hearty Scottish breakfast. I can envision poet Robbie Burns sitting down to enjoy such pleasing fare during one of his countryside travels in 1789. Although nutritious and filling, this breakfast is of the lighter… Continue reading Vintage Friday: Scottish Breakfast 1789 by Flossie Benton Rogers
