Celebrations II, Static and Finding an Old Friend

Cora's Birthday Celebration

January is the month both Cora and I celebrate birthdays and its also the month of our wedding anniversary.  So my birthday 'celebration' was described in our last post.  The day of Cora's birthday was rather busy, not only with her birthday but we participated is some other stuff that's not related to our FLR.

So I was rather surprised when Cora beckoned me to her while seated on our couch and pulled me over her lap.  She then proceeded to deliver her celebratory birthday spanking to me.  (Yes, its me who gets spanked on Her birthday!)  

It wasn't a long spanking, but perhaps four or five minutes of receiving her favorite Ebony Hairbrush and the OTK Spanking Paddle.

It left me with a rather nice tingle and warmth for the rest of the day.

 Static

We've been rather pre-occupied with what I'll call 'static'.  Stuff that has gotten in the way of the 'fun' stuff related to our FLR.  I won't go into the gory details except to share that one of our pups had surgery to remove a growth.  And it showed cancerous although it appears to be contained.  We're still dealing with some follow ups to make sure we got everything.  I'm sure that most of you can relate to the closeness we feel for our canine family members.

We'll be catching up on some ideas that some of you have sparked from your comments.  One of these comments referred to our Notice of Discipline form and the 'intensity' field and we plan to address this question in a later post.  And to all who have left comments - Thanks.

Finding an Old Friend

Some of you have been around long enough to remember how things were before the Internet.  Remember magazines and books (paper!), VHS video tapes and such?  Like many of you, I spent my share of time frequenting the so-called 'Adult Book Stores'.  Besides mainstream pornography you could also find some kinky related things.  Like Spanking!

In the early 1990's I found some very interesting publications on the magazine rack.  These magazines were published by 'Scarlett Hill Enterprises' (SHE) and included titles like 'Firm Handed Ladies', 'Red-Cheeked Recollections', 'Over Mom's Knee', and 'Strictly Speaking Spanking'.  Naturally I gravitated towards the Woman-Spanks-Male publications but they also include many from the other side of the paddle.  Oh, and they produce videos, too.

I accumulated quite a number of these magazines during the 1990's and all are secure in my treasure trunk where I keep my treasured collections like the old Bizarre Life, Ledagrams, WhAP and others. With the rise of the Internet my visits to the Adult Book Stores has dropped off considerably.  I'm not even sure if some of those vendors are still around.  Interesting to look back and see how things have changed.

So it was a very pleasant surprise to receive an e-Mail from Barb, one of the co-owners of Scarlett Hill.  Apparently she had found our blog while searching for Aunt Kay and the Disciplinary Wives Club (DWC).  I had posted an article about the return of the DWC in December.  Well, it turns out that Barb used to be in touch with Aunt Kay and was attempting to get in touch with her again and in doing so found us!

Barb shared some very kind words about our blog and also shared that Scarlett Hill is very much alive and thriving.  Of course they have made the switch from paper publications to electronic versions.  Barb was kind enough to share a copy of 'Over Aunty's Knee'.  It was like finding an old friend.  Just like their publications from the 1990's it was full of really well written stories of spankings being administered by strict women, in this case all 'Aunties'.  And along with the stories were illustrations in the same style as the old publications.  The new versions also include a few photos with active links if you want to find more about the source of that particular photo.

Oh and I've added a link to Scarlett Hill Enterprises to our list of FLR and Other Related Resources.

 Then Barb asked if she could feature Cora and I in one of her publications!  Of course we replied that we would be more than honored to be featured.  So we pointed Barb to one of our favorite posts, our wedding.  It will be featured in the next issue of No-Nonsense Ladies.
