SuBAMUH

Do you ever go someplace and feel like you have been there a thousand times before?  This was my experience as I entered into an incredible group of womyn in SuBAMUH Land in Athens County OH.  For more information about this community visit:  http://www.subamuh.com/

Love, Your Library

http://parkersburglib.blogspot.com/

Visit the new local library blog set up by Rachel Hyde, librarian for the South branch in Parkersburg WV.  Learn about all the great services your library can offer you.  "It is about free internet access, genealogy help, summer reading programs, reference, fax and notary services, community events...and, of course, it is still about books, too."
It's a great way to learn more about libraries everywhere and especially helpful is you are here in the area.  Show your love and support for your branches and the blog contributors by clicking the "follow" button on the left and encourage them to keep you informed and inspired.

The Original Salad Spinner

So sweet is my little life

In a moment of domestic bliss, I allow the 3 year old to play with my camera in an attempt to get her to stop telling me that she is already dissatisfied with the meal that I have not yet even begun to prepare.  Well, that bought me a solid 28 seconds before someone else demanded my attention and as I addressed this new and immediate need, I was captured on film.  It's not a particularly flattering photo, yet it connects me with my real life in such a way that it makes me smile every time I look at it.  Cast iron in hand, flower in the hair at just the right distance to inhale it's sweetness, apron perched snugly above the bun-oven of years past, tea kettle at the ready, heart and ear poised to take in this new tale of woodland magic or childhood injustice.

So real.  So sweet is my little life.
