Saturday Snap – I Don’t Always Drive A Minivan…

…but when I do, I use it to transport a full-sized fridge!  (And who am I kidding?  I do always drive a minivan.)

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – Future Librarian Training? (May 2016)

Me showing Sasha the tools of the trade (now that she’s eleven, she’s more likely to sneak a middle finger into a picture like this!) 😉

Saturday Snap – The 80s Were Cool…

…and so are these retro-glasses I got for free at the liquor store when I stopped to grab some hockey-watching beers!

Saturday Snap – A Busy Week in the Hammond House

Sasha went to a recently opened trampoline park with a bunch of friends for her birthday… Pace did his driver’s exam (didn’t make it but examiner said he did he really well and it was mostly mistakes due to nerves that caused him to fail which is apparently the case with 3/4 of first-time drivers […]
