Tomorrow marks the 53rd anniversary of the brutal murders of Sharon Tate and her friends by members of the Manson Family on August 8, 1969. In honor of this grisly anniversary, there’s six links to online articles about the Manson Murders and one bonus link to a story about my own private Manson Woman!
Then there’s the MBIP Coming Attractions and note: The blog is going to be a little abbreviated for the next two weeks. Keep on scrolling to find out why.

MBIP Coming Attractions
Monday: We’re doing a Lunch At First Bite episode featuring Castle’s Patio Inn and a local library that they’re building there. And some of my books and magazines are going to be part of that.
Tuesday: I’m having hip replacement surgery, so I’ll be putting up a notice that the MBIP blog might be a little spotty for awhile, depending on how everything goes. I lived through open-heart surgery, so this should be a walk in the park.
Wednesday - Friday: I’m hoping to be able to come home Tuesday night, but we’ll have to play the whole week by ear. I was told to plan for 2-4 weeks recovery as a best case scenario, so it’s improv time here at MBIP!
Saturday: If I’m up to it, I’ll head back to the past for another Meanwhile, Back In Peoria’s Past.
