First and foremost, happy May Day! I used to love gathering flowers from my mom’s garden and putting them on the doorstep of a friend or neighbor we especially liked. Today, I’m being lazy and e-gifting flowers on your e-doorstep. While you’re enjoying your e-flowers, how about a new recipe, too? We had these “Big…
Maintaining Professionalism
I don’t usually talk about my job in detail, because I would hate for anyone to feel like they can’t be totally open with their local librarians. We’re kind of like bartenders or lawyers or something. And by that, I just mean that we don’t tell people what other people are asking about. So if…
Mish Mash Day (and Fried Plantains)
Today is weird leftovers for lunch day and grocery store day and really rainy and gross day. Yup. But those weird leftovers turned out to be really good. (Who knew that heated up lettuce and sour cream and rice and corn something and steak would actually end well when mixed together?!) The leftovers were from…
Lucky Dog: Camping Edition
The first time that Scott and I went camping together (and last time until this past weekend) is one of those “just wait ’til you hear this story” events in our life. A few short months into marriage, we weren’t exactly prepared to be greeted by drunk, shooting folks in the middle of the night…
Windblown Friday
Sometimes when I feel windblown (deep down inside), I can only handle adding a bit of cute to my plate. Thus, I gift you some cute: Amazing colors, hair in the face. Seems just right for a Friday–happy, but frazzled. It also reminds me of something. Oh, hey! It’s two camp counselors at the Golden…
Lynchburg Happy
I believe Gallup recently ranked Lynchburg the 37th happiest metropolitan area (loosely interpreted) in the United States. To honor that and party with a good song, the city decided we should create our own video for Pharrell’s Happy. If you haven’t seen the original, you should check it out. It’s good stuff. Ours is, too,…
Biscuit Success
This is one of those weird mornings. It was an early wake-up morning for Scott, which means extra morning time at home for me. Not extra sleep time. If I tried to get extra sleep after waking up once, I would never ever wake up. Ever. I’m talking 2020, still happily asleep, fired years ago…
Small, but valuable.
