A part of my life that I will miss

 February 29, 2012. Today I learned of the sad news that Davy Jones passed away.  He was someone that made my childhood a better place.  I couldn't wait to watch "The Monkeys" on television and loved the music for the next 4 decades - somewhere in heaven is a new daydream believer.  RIP

A big part of my childhood

Today I read about the passing of Jan Berenstain, for most of us that name should bring back memories of the fantastic book series "The Berenstain Bears", I remember reading those books to my liitle brother and sister and trying to explain over and over why they had such long fingernails - "They are bears" I would say, "and bears have long fingernails" - but it would never help, my sister would simply ask over and over again  "but they live in a house and shop in a store, why don't they cut their fingernails?".  Jan and her husband brought those books to life with such simple drawings and wonderful stories.  Here is a link to their story - it's worth a read:  http://shine.yahoo.com/parenting/berenstain-bears-co-creator-jan-berenstain-dies-180700716.html
