Week # 2 Assignment: middle school library
Yesterday, the AP announced that no sunflower seeds are allowed in “…….” MS. We had been finding little piles in the library. An “offering” of dry hamster-like turds?
What will those clever pre-teens think of next?
I am reading a fascinating book called: The Geography of Bliss One Grump’s Search for [...]

Bubbas and other Hubba-Hubbas
On my new commute into a semi-rural area I witnessed the ultimate “Bubbadum” event: Two large pick-ups parked side by side with engines running and front drivers windows opened. Two “macho men chatting” at a local convenience store. One man wearing a confederate Doo-Rag. Whatever…..
This snowman doo-rag is the collage art work of one of [...]

Assignment: Middle School Library
Well, it certainly is a whole different ballgame being with older students in the library. After only 3 days, I would say it is GOOD! I attended Jr High from 1967-1970; grades 7-9. That was a very long time ago! Middle school is grades 6-8. The school I am currently working at has only 6th [...]

Free Trip to Heaven: Details Inside!
I betcha think I am going to go off on a religious tangent…don’t you? Actually, NO! I saw this on a church sign on our way to DE (the first state- yes it is a state!) this past weekend. It tickled my inner sense of quirky advertising. Do you remember those GOD billboards a few [...]

There are many shows; one of particular interest to me; called Knitty Gritty. Yes, it is an inspirational knitting show. Check it [...]
