Sturdy for Common Things

Seeing Things

Librarying…

Falling in Kansas…

Knits and caps…

Eastbound…

Set.

Afternoon with auntie.

Patriotic…

Layovers.

Mousey moves…

Halloween grins.

Cheer. Here, here!

Happy milestones. Happy November.

Our so-far Fall includes: Red and orange walks, a trip to  Rhode Island to visit my sister and support her for her final senior volleyball game for University of Rhode Island.  We left the east the day before Sandy hit. Even the birds were trying to get out of town. Halloween came and went. The candy came and went. Will’s 30th birthday came and went. 30 balloons for 30 years.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner. And the end of 2012.

But let’s not think about that just yet.

I’ve also been doing quite a bit of librarying. Specifically, quite a bit of writing about librarying. (And yes, in case you were wondering, “librarying” is a made-up word. I occasionally borrow it from a coworker.) Over the past several weeks I’ve contributed to the ALSC Blog with “Sharing One Story”, my newest art education piece for Library As Incubator Project‘s Pages to Projects: “Take Art for a Spin!”, as well as my quarterly contribution for Lawrence Kids Magazine, a little DIY crafting feature, “Reuse Lawrence Kids”.

No matter how big or how small, I’m proud of these endeavors. I’m proud to share them with you. Proud of my family with their growth and landmarks and discoveries. Good things are brewing.
