On The Fly

In this episode - Keeping Christmas . . . by Henry Van Dyke, read by Lori Ball.

You’ve heard the saying, “That was before my time.” Was it really? I’m convinced that “time” is relative. In my small way, this is an attempt to experience the 1951  NBC  television series,  A Guest in Your House.

We all have special memories with our Dad at Christmas. What's yours?

As you prepare your Christmas list, please remember the true meaning of Christmas.

Please welcome Lori to the Podcast this holiday season. Over the next few episodes, she will be narrating poems and stories lovingly prepared as a special gift to our family and yours.

A Thanksgiving poem to relish the memories of days-gone-by.

Happy Thanksgiving from On the Fly . . .

Are you a dreamer? Believe in yourself, today is a new day, you were put on this earth for a purpose. Discover that purpose, you too can change the world.

It’s autumn, Halloween is approaching - how do you capture the experience, the smells, the rustling sounds of multicolored falling leaves, the quiet, peaceful feeling, the solitude of life in a small town?

Nod your head if you remember the “punishment” of being kept after school - A  Detention .

In this Bonus segment, I want to address a recent comment, from a listener, posted on my Blog - On The Fly. It was this, “Please tell of your favorite moments growing up in Cuba, Illinois.”

Where will your shoes take you today? I’m looking at a pair of brown, soft suede leather, around-town walking shoes. My go-to, most comfortable shoes.
