In the Stacks
One of my blog readers tells me she goes into “hermit” mode in January. Jaxon says “it’s the most depressing month of the year.” Well! The library stacks are a good place to isolate in this “most depressing month of … Continue reading

No, We Didn’t
I got a box of See’s “Nuts and Chews” from my friend; it arrived the day after Christmas. On sweets overload, I decided to parse out the candies and store them in the cupboard. Ration them. No, we did not … Continue reading

Along the River Again
I haven’t gotten far this week and I’ve traveled to most places on foot. I guess that would be the “Chuck Taylor Travel Tales” instead of “The Lady Alone Traveler.”
