It’s Halloween and a Mandolorian has come to town…

W/ sadness we share the news that “Acclaimed children’s author, distinguished children’s librarian & stalwart champion of intellectual freedom Susan Patron, best known for her Newbery Medal-winning novel The Higher Power of Lucky, died October 24” www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Enjoying her new book…and then it went in her mouth! Doesn’t everyone like to chew on good literature? 😂

Happy National Dog Day from our girl with no shame…she adores her daddy!

One of our favorite traditions is “Friday Night Picnic.” We do this at home and while camping. Tonight’s board is charcuterie from Platterful, a small company with a big heart. Our favorite bite tonight was a wafer cracker topped with honey goat cheese, some peach jam, and a blackberry. Yum!

Our little girl had a blast at her luau pawty today!! 🌺

Whenever the dog destroys something in the house and I get frustrated I go back to this picture where she destroyed my flower bed and decide she is still cute enough to forgive… JK-she will always be cute enough to forgive!!

#newgoal - I need to make a donation as well.

Enjoyed a dance with my favorite partner over the weekend. He has better rhythm than his daddy! 😂

Looking forward to reading this one! We enjoyed the first one so much.

*taps the sign* School libraries don't need you to donate copies of banned books. They need you to step up and run for the school board so the books don't get banned in the first place.
