During the holidays I was craving a good story, a neighborhood story that gives inspiration andContinue reading “The Book Store”
Summer Book Review
This afternoon I stepped outside to pick up my husband at work and I felt like I swallowed the ocean. My eyes moved back and forth across the garage and I blinked. Was I still in Minnesota? Maybe I was transported to Hawaii or some tropical island. The blacktop grounded me back to home. SinceContinue reading “Summer Book Review”

David Damrosch said he fell into another world as he read, The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman.Continue reading

More campers and tents are visible as we try to reconnect with nature and escape the noise of the city. Trails are filled with hikers, bikers, and explorers looking for exercise and thoseContinue reading “Summer Writing”

Remember, summer reading clubs as children? Sometimes, we need to create our own summer camp and get through the list of books that we never finished.
