All posts by Tony Burgess

Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

What I Have To Say, A Note To My Followers #bloggers #wordpress

Friends, I am going to try to lighten up the content you see here. We all can use some levity. However, the world is a place of suffering and pain that cannot be ignored no matter how hard we try. So in my future posts, I will try to have a balance of the sacred, the serious to the silly, and stuff on the fringes. Also, a video or two to keep things interesting.

I realize it’s my blog and I can post what I want, but I want to have a place that is fun as it is pointed, relevant, and reacting to current events. That is why I am posting vintage toys and continuing to complain about Monday’s and the state of the world. Thanks for hanging with me all these years and for connecting here. Feel free to respectfully comment.

I encourage everyone to have a balance and to keep on blogging. The blogging community needs your voice. Let’s have some fun. Peace and love to you all.

Your Blogging Pal, Tony.

Vintage Christmas Toy Series #2

This is a Fisher-Price pull along telephone. One could say its a kids first mobile phone.

Vintage Christmas Toy Series

Leading up to Christmas I am going to be doing a series of posts featuring pictures of the toys of my childhood and youth. I was a child in the 1970s and came of age in the 1980s so some of you will be seeing these again or for the first time. I hope you will enjoy it.

Here is the first toy!

A Fisher-Price record player music box.

Monday Motivation is Now Wednesday Wisdom

Nothing wrong with taking life, work or anything else slowly. Just keep going.

We Are Getting Our Wish

After four years of hell Donald Trump is going away from the White House and Dolly Parton is the hero she always is. Good news if you ask me.

Status Update

The day is finally done and it’s still hard to believe we are in the month of December. Time has flown by it seems in the Coronaworld we live in. I hope you all are taking care of yourselves and others. Grace and peace as we go through the rest of the week.
