Sunday Bulletin – December 28
Now Christmas is over and the New Year is upon us and plans are swimming in my head for resolutions, goals and improvements for 2015. I never really keep my resolutions or meet all of my goals, but it’s still worthwhile to think about the changes I want to make. There’s power in just thinking about…

Hello! Did you all have a good holiday? Mine was great – I spent lots of time with family but also had quiet times to read, knit and watch some episodes of Poirot on Netflix. On Christmas morning I got up early to cook a couple of dishes for my family’s lunch and this butternut…

Willa Cather Reading Week: A Lost Lady
I was so happy to read Willa Cather this week – to be back in the West, in the beautiful landscape of Nebraska, in the small railroad towns and among the pioneers who are rough yet cultured in their own way. I always feel that reading Cather is the closest I get to reading about…

Sunday Bulletin – December 7
Last week was very mellow and uneventful. December is the slowest time of the year in the library business. We’ll have a flurry of activity as local high school students come in to study for finals, but other than that the library is quite calm. It is nice to have work so quiet when the…

Scenes from Oxford
The day my friend and I went to Oxford the weather wavered from bitterly cold, rainy and gloomy to sunny and crisply lovely. When we arrived in the city the wind was cutting and as we walked into town from the train station my cheeks froze and I wished I had worn a warmer coat.…
