B98.5 Christmas Castle Starts Tuesday!
I know Thanksgiving was only yesterday but I need to spread the word as soon as possible for next week!
B98.5 is once again helping the Salvation Army in Waterville with their annual Christmas Castle! You can help, too!
Blind Kitty Video Wins Friskies First Prize!
It seems every day thousands of cat videos are uploaded to YouTube. I'll admit it. I've done it myself. But certain ones just tug at your heartstrings...
The Feztival of Trees
I always love doing something I've never done. I did that last night. I went to the seventh annual Feztival of Trees at the Kora Shrine Temple in Lewiston. What an incredible spectacle!
Please Read To Your Children…
Each night I have Anderson is special to me. Like every night, we eat dinner and have enough play time to have fun either playing Wii, boardgames, baking...there is always something fun to do.
But the most important thing parents seem to overlook. Not in my house.
ESPN Likes The Princess Bride
Anyone who knows me knows I LOVE sports! Baseball, football: those are my two favorites. I have been watching Sportcenter since I was around 20. That's when I got cable.
You also know I love a wide variety of movies. Singin' in the Rain, Terminator 2...a little bit of everything. So, how cool is it that my two favorite things were combined together?
For a Little Family Fun in the Kitchen ‘You Can Eat Mice!’
I was looking for something fun to make with the kids and I found a cookbook that has a whole bunch of different cookies you can serve during the holiday seasons. Going through the 'Taste of Home Best Loved Cookies and Candies,' Anderson stopped me from turning past this page. These little critters are so cute you'll want to have them in your home!
You Need a Trail Cam….
There are plenty of deer around this season. So many, in fact, I've almost hit 6 in the middle of the night. We have seen so many does that I think Chad was convinced there were no bucks left in the world....until we saw THESE!
Party Pancakes!
I may have had Veteran's Day off but that doesn't mean I wasn't hopping at home! It's not every day I get to stay home with my son, Anderson, and spend an ENTIRE day with him. But each day I do, I want to make it as special as possible!
He loves pancakes. He would eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I let him. What can I say? Mama makes good cakes!
‘8th of November’ on the 8th of November
Big 'n Rich are probably best known for their 'Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy', the song that took country music by surprise and by storm. But don't be fooled. They don't just have a fun side. Big Kenny and John Rich are intelligent writers. The song '8th of November' shows just how deep they care about America and its veterans.
First ‘Stove Up’…Now ‘Gross Out?’
Sitting around the table last night, I was talking with Chad and Amber. I was telling them how when I moved to Maine in 1983 when I was 8, I had to learn about Maine things. Being only little, I learned that sprinkles for your ice cream were actually called 'jimmies.'
There are many more things I have learned over the years, especially recently!
DECMA Awards B98.5 at Ceremony
On Sunday at The Silver Spur in Mechanic Falls, I was proud to be on hand to accept the awards presented to our station. The venue was packed with local musicians and country music enthusiasts of all ages.
Between each award we were treated to a musical number, either by the winner of the previous award or other very talented musicians. What a great afternoon!
Sharon Buck at Tanksgiving Day 1
The first day of 'TANKS'giving is always the hardest. Glitches, feedback, burnt out lights and the cold! Looking at the weather all weekend it said sunny and highs of 44 degrees. That's pretty warm compared to a few 'TANKS'givings we've had in the past. Last year we were spoiled with great weather.
This year, it looks like it's going to be a challenge! BRING IT, MOTHER NATURE!
Writing Songs…Can You Do It?
With the CMA Awards last night, everyone is talking about the 'Song of the Year' award going to Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert for their collaboration "Over You" written about the death of Blake's brother. Such a heartfelt song and it has touched many.
There are many songs that are taken from real life experiences. The beginning of Eric Church's song Creepin' came from when he woke up
Larry Bird and Michael Jordan Compete!
Picture it. Fairfield. 1993. A young Sharon Buck is getting ready to watch the Celtics take the court. Then the commercial comes on the air.
Larry Bird versus Michael Jordan....winner gets the McDonald's Big Mac.
Remember this?

Halloween Was a Scream on Burleigh Street!
Being the parent of a 6 year old has it's advantages. When I was little, I went trick-o-treating maybe 3 times. And that's when I was around 15. My parents never really let us out of the house. They liked to keep us safe so handing out the candy was our job.
But now that Anderson is at the age where he can carry his own pumpkin, I wanted to really get out there and experience what a Halloween was
