Back At It


My daughter is in Rome and plans to record her impressions and thoughts on her blog, to critique cities and restaurants, to describe her dorm and classes or anything else she fancies. Suddenly I found myself missing my blog. I had originally set it up in 2007 as part of an information literacy initiative, but now I can write not only about information literacy and school, but about family, weather, pets, friends, food, movies, or in this case neighbors. Now I know that people complain about neighbors, but I've been lucky in mine. For example, I just went out to blow the 4 inches of snow from my driveway before the -30 degree wind chill set in, and what did I find? My kind neighbor had already done it for me! Who says being neighborly is a thing of the past? Thanks, Gary. Here's to Minnesota nice.

Hi! Glad to see you are "back at it"! Yes, Minnesota nice is alive and well in my neighborhood, too, with neighbors shoveling for neighbors -- ah, warm fuzzies on cold days :)

LOVE THOSE BOOKS!

About Me

My photo
Having gone back to school nearly every fall since 1955 either as a student, teacher or library media specialist, I find myself somewhere entirely new: in the unchartered land of the retired. I'm hoping this blog will help me find my legs. Well I guess someone else's legs would be better considering....
