Best Car to Buy For Your Large Family

Chevrolet is an American automobile manufacturing corporation that has been in business since 1911.  I am so old that I can remember the advertisement that said “See the USA in your Chevrolet.”  Chevrolet is pronounced sheh·vruh·lay. Lay rhymes with USA. It was a catchy line.  

At one time, their major competitor was Ford. But times have changed and not only must Chevrolet compete with US car manufacturers but there are also non-US car manufacturing companies who fight for the attention of American consumers as well.  Based on my experience, I would say that even after all of these years Chevrolet still builds great cars!  They build small cars, sedans, trucks, mid-size cars, sports cars (like the Corvette), and most recently they started building all-electric vehicles.  

My favorite Chevy car is the Suburban. It is a large family SUV (sports utility vehicle) and if you have a large family and you drive to your vacation destinations, this car (or truck) is perfect!


I owned a Suburban for about 10 years. Sadly one of my teenage kids took it out for a drive, got in an accident and the family care was totally checked. However, my child made it out without a scratch.

During the time period when I owned the Suburban, I rarely had to make substantial car repairs. The regular car maintenance kept it going. I drove the car from Texas to Washington, D.C., and back again. It is very reliable transportation.

If you are looking to buy a large family SUV, I recommend the Chevrolet Suburban.


"In 1951, Chevrolet signed a deal to sponsor The Dinah Shore Show on NBC, during the height of her career as one of America’s mos


t popular singers and television personalities. At the end of each show, the charming, sultry-voiced Shore serenaded her audience with “See the U.S.A. in your Chevrolet” from the driver’s seat of a sleek, brand new Chevy."  (Source)

Vintage Moments in Entertainment History : Sophia Loren and Charles Aznavour

I collect vintage stuff.  That's why I joined this awesome online community.  Find more gems like the one below in Vintage, Posters &.. - Google+. They don't just share entertainment, celebrities pics, etc. They share really rare moments in history via vintage photographs you probably won't see anywhere else. Not all the photos are black and white, but the ones that are really add to that "moment in time" often captured by an unknown talented photographer.



Why do I like this photo so much?  For one thing, I'm loyal Sophia Loren fan.  I did a Top Ten List in one of my previous posts and included her in my collection of Iconic Female Celebrities.  Eh! Everybody knows Sophia Loren.  But the fact is, if it weren't for "The Truth About Charlie" movie* with Mark Wahlberg and Thandie Newton, I may have never known who Charles Aznavour was.  But I'm thankful.  His music is great for a romantic evening.  😍


* FYI.  That Wahlberg/Newton film was a remake of a classic old movie, "Charade", a 1963 flick which starred two of my favorite actors from back in the day - Audrey Hepburn and Cary Grant, which did not include songs by this popular French singer.  So the film remake actually added a nice touch!  Audrey Hepburn (1929 – 1993) is also on my list of Iconic Female Celebrities.  Love her too! 💟

Movies and TV Series filmed in Ireland, but NOT set in Ireland : The Teeny tiny à Tout Faire (Reblog)

Well I know that I'm supposed to be tooting my own horn but why can't I toot about blogs I like as well? It's just as much fun reading other people's blogs as it is publishing my own. Re-blogging a link from a super cool entertainment blog that caught my eye.


The Teeny tiny à Tout Faire: [Irish Week] Movies and TV Series filmed in Ireland, but NOT set in Ireland



Why do I like this blog? It shares entertainment-related tidbits, fun facts, etc. that are of interest to me. I like the post categories; especially “Who Wore It Best?”   

(Loved that contrast photo of Lupita and Beyoncé.  Shared it via my Tumblr.)



I enjoy the “Movie Reviews” category because there are reviews of vintage movies. The publisher uses the word “vintage”. But sometimes we say “movie classics” or “old movies”. 

(I love all things vintage, so I'm happy with the blogger using this descriptive term in lieu of “classic” or “old”.   Shared the review of "Father Goose" via Pinterest where I collect "Everything Vintage". )

Additionally, there are recommendations regarding foreign films (i.e. non-American) and I'm always on the hunt for non-American movies or TV series.




Will you be adding this blog to your list of "Blogs I Like"?
