Tracing Tracks at the Library

What better way to spend a warm afternoon than at a place where knowledge knows no limits and it’s all at the fingertips, for free? That would be, of course, the library! A day to celebrate independent authors was a good idea. It was fun to hear from others about their books. Funny–many of the […]

Furry Friends and Thoughts of Fall

Furry Friends and Thoughts of Fall
