Slice of Life Day 15: How Does Your Garden Grow?
Our “back-door” neighbors as I call them have an absolutely beautiful yard. Both the husband and wife love to garden and you can clearly tell. Most weekends, I’ll see one or both of them tending to flowers, vegetables, trimming this, moving that. It’s a constant battle – protecting the young…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/15/2021
What I Read I’m about three-quarters of the way through Ravage the Dark the sequel to Scavenge the Stars. I worked late two night this week and worked on Saturday too, so my reading time was definitely limited. The good news is that I also read a couple of picture…

Slice of Life Day 14: Perfect Gift
I love searching for the perfect gift for a friend or family member. It’s like the best kind of treasure hunt – finding something that is personal and means so much to that person. I think it’s one of the reasons I love Christmas time so much – not getting…

Slice of Life Day 13: One Year
One year ago, I was told we were closing the library for two weeks to self-quarantine. Never in a million years would I have guessed where we’d be now. It’s been one heck of a year. But, I’m going to share a positive rather than harp on all the negative…

Slice of Life Day 12: Mansplaining
Yesterday we had a new microwave installed. It’s, unfortunately, a very long story. We replaced all of our kitchen appliances last summer and have had numerous problems with three out of four of them. The microwave was finally deemed unrepairable and after a new one was delivered (and not installed),…

Slice of Life Day 11: Women’s History Month
I’m spending the month of March celebrating Women’s History Month by sharing biographies about women on Instagram. Picture book biographies are huge in publishing right now. We’re learning more about men and women that we’ve never even heard of before which is really exciting. Plus, we’re getting really great, accessible…

Slice of Life Day 10: Opposite of Inclement Weather
Winter often brings one or two days off, or at least it used to until everyone realized that a lot of work (and school) can happen at home. The weather would make it difficult to travel and you’d get to have an impromptu day off. Those are fun days. But…

Slice of Life Day 9: Meetings Week
Every month it seems that the stars perfectly align that I have a meetings week where all my monthly meetings fall in the same week. It’s absolutely ridiculous! And it’s also very hard to get anything else accomplished when I’m sitting in a meeting almost every day of the week.…

Slice of Life Day 8: Laundry
Laundry is the bain of my existence. I don’t mind the actual act of doing laundry, but folding clean laundry is definitely not my favorite household chore. And I’m not sure why. But, I never fold laundry straight out of the dryer. Folding laundry never takes as long as I…

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/8/2021
What I Read I’m still not reading up to my typical level, but here’s hoping I can get to a little more this week. I had to work on Saturday and we’re renovating one of our bathrooms which took some time on Sunday cutting into my reading time. But, really…
