Welcome Friends and Fellow Bloggers!

Hello Good People!

My name is Tony Burgess 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 Mikey, Cody, and Frankie. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting blood 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!

The Atari could be argued as the granddaddy of all gaming systems. Safe to say it was a wildly popular platform that inspired the future of video games.

Vintage Christmas Toy Series #5

Rubik’s Cube is one of the most popular toys ever. It was first invented in the 1970s but seemed to get really popular in the 1980s. Many of us had one and it seems to be a toy that transcends age and era.

Vintage Christmas Toy Series #3

These View-Master toys were great. You put the picture disk in and look into it and you are somewhere else in the world. Maybe this inspired kids to think big and globally.

Vintage Woolworth’s #Halloween Costume Commercial

This is how American kids prepared for trick or treating back in 1977. Much remains the same but much has changed over the years.
