Flashback Friday

In January 1970, I had just turned four; my mother was expecting my sister; we were looing for a house. Since I have only vague memories about this particular year, here's a look back at some of the top music and movies.

Getting Back To Work...Maybe...
The TV is already sporting the ticker for tomorrow's closings. So far, our school's not on it. But if the kids are snowed in again, I'll be baking cookies and trying to keep the house warm! Yup; another snow day. Which again means limited access for me. I'm hoping to be able to at least get chapters 3 and 4 edited before they start fussing! W, on the other hand, is thrilled because of this unexpected 'holiday', especially being so close to the regular holiday break! Myself, I'll be blogging about this topic next week. Hint: I'm having a WTH...moment.
