Elvira, Mistress of the Dark
Another week has already flown by and so as usual we are sharing with you some great, up to the moment posts from our friendly group of blogging “Boomers”. The Blogging Boomers Carnival is an eclectic group of bloggers who write on a variety of interesting topics that we think you will certainly enjoy!
This weeks host is The Midlife Crisis Queen, (aka)Laura Lee Carter. As I was checking out all the different topics, I (JoJami) was super surprised because as it turns out… one of the links is to the now, 59 year old Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. Do you remember her? That woman who dressed up like the bride of Frankenstein and introduced us to scary movies!!
Well, it is a small world because this week Elvira has picked the best of the worst horror movies..and much to my own horror… Killer Shrews was at the top of her list! It just so happens that my father, James Best, starred in that old flick~it was one of his early movies! While that movie never shot my father to fame, you might have actually seen him as Rosco P. Coletrane on the Dukes of Hazzard! He is a terrific actor and has appeared in over 80 films and lots of other tv shows!
Yup, that my father, James Best with Flash, on the Dukes of Hazard
So, if you want to see the rest of Elvira’s the list, head on over to this weeks Carnival and feel free to leave your comments!!

Does your phone do this?
With all the hullabaloo about the new i-phone, it seems there is other options out there to keep you up with the times.

This weeks Blogging Boomers Carnival has a good story and video, demonstrating another new phone called, The Droid, so you can see a quick and easy overview of the next generation of calling options.
Hosting this week is the Boomer Blog, It’s All About Aging, where you will find this and other cool Boomer topics to tickle your brain cells!
