Whatnot Wednesday: Have You Met Lulu?

Wednesday, December 4, 2024 Hello, everyone. Today I have random whatnots about Lulu.  Have you met Lulu? She’s a wonderfully uninhibited flapper in the Diesel Era of the 1920s.  Whenever she’s around, you’re likely to hear the words “Don’t touch that, Lulu!” because she’s also very klutzy.  Lulu is also a great dancer.  She’s been … More Whatnot Wednesday: Have You Met Lulu?

Saturday, October 12, 2024 Welcome back to my sanctuary, everyone.  I need to relax.  How about you?  So this isn’t going to be much of a post.

Thursday, October 5, 2023 Hi, everyone.  As you know, I’ve been kinda-sorta taking a blog break. I wanted to finish at least a couple of writing and/or editing projects.

#ThursdayDoors to Memory — Places in our Memories, with Judith Barrow

Thursday, September 15, 2022 Earlier this week, author Judith Barrow shared a post she invited me to do for her blog series, “Places in Our Memories.”  Her questions about personal recollections somehow brought to mind old amusement parks. That, of course, made me think of Hullaba Lulu, a Dieselpunk Adventure, and the very strange amusement park from … More #ThursdayDoors to Memory — Places in our Memories, with Judith Barrow
