Style Scouting: Vol. 248

Thanks for stopping by for this week’s Style Scouting. My Sunday post where I share the random stuff that captured my attention or inspired me that I found online.

Hello – It is Sunday June 29th. Today I am officially 66 years old. I remember when I turned 55, I joked that I was the speed limit. Now…

Rt 66 road sign

…I can say that I am cool and going to get my kicks on Route 66. :-)

I bought myself a birthday gift – a present from me to me. It came on Thursday and I assembled it. Now I just need to add my personal style to it using paint. I will share what it is with you this week.

Now onto the links I found for you this week.

Watching & Reading

Have you seen or heard of the movie now playing in theaters, The Life of Chuck? It was written by Stephen King and I, like most people thought it is a horror movie. It’s NOT! I am looking forward to seeing it since everyone I know who has seen it says it is wonderful! (open in same tab)
