The Battle Of The Two Heathers

When I was a kid, there was a buzz about these two actresses. Heather Thomas was famous for her role as  Jody Banks the T.V. series, "The Fall Guy" and the other was Heather Lockler for her role as Officer Stacy Sheridan on T.V. series "T.J. Hooker". I always felt, Heather Thomas was far better looking than Heather Lockler but she fell the radar and Heather Lockler took over the spotlight.

Documenting My Life

I am about to embark on a journey back into time. This is going to be a documentation of my life. Dedicated to my son. I am going back to my parents first house and go from there to my current residence. I am going to take pictures and write stories for him to read and possibly share with his children. I feel so empty thinking back on my family tree. We have no real documentation of our lives, a few pictures here and there, just doesnt cut it for me. I am such a visual person. I want my son to know me and where I came from. Who I am and some of my struggles and triumphs. I want this documented because tomorrow is uncertain and as weird as this sounds, I want my life to be documented by me and told by me.

G.I. Joe Action Figure (Kung Fu Grip)

This is a long time running joke with my parents. When I was a child my parents bought me this action figure named G.I. Joe, it was around the latter 70's time frame. I do not remember how the gift came into play, either for a birthday or Christmas present. It shortly became my favorite toy. The best part, it was a talking action figure, pull this string and he said a few words. They are stated on the outside of the box, each set of sayings. One night we were gathered around after dinner watching T.V. and I was on a rampage with this toy and out the blue, he broke...well...to some degree. His sayings were bundled together. The best saying that we can remember to this day was, "Rough going, can you make it". There were others one combined not like this one, it was hilarous! Some from time to time, we all still say his one saying.."Rough going, can you make it!"

A Geanie Vs. A Witch? Yes!

These were two very hot ladies back in the day, Barbara Eden and Elizabeth Montgomery. I remember being glued to the T.V. set very day to watch them both.

I Dream of Jeannie is a 1960s American sitcom with a fantasy premise. The show starred Barbara Eden as a 2000-year-old female genie, and Larry Hagman as an astronaut who becomes her master, with whom she falls in love and eventually marries.

                                                                   I Dream Of Jeannie:



Bewitched was a show about a witch  starring Elizabeth Montgomery who marries a mortal and tries to lead the life of a typical suburban housewife. Bewitched continues to be seen throughout the world in syndication and was the longest-running supernatural-themed sitcom of the 1960s–1970s era.

Telly Savalas a.k.a Kojak

Ok! So, I am hung up on bringing back pieces of my childhood. But when I started this page, it turned into many other projects. But I am not trying to focus on my childhood to the present me. So, when I rehased all the T.V. shows, this all spawned from there.

Perry Mason Vs. Ironside

This is another set of T.V. shows that my grandmother turned me onto when I little. I loved watching them both. Raymond Burr was the main actor in both shows. It's hard to think that I watched these types of shows as a kid, but my grandmother loved them and Raymond Burr. She would always talk so highly of him.
