I’d like you to meet my cat Ollie and his new friend Dick, an Alaskan sourdough starter. This puzzling moment is brought to you as a result of my interest in a link from Larry’s recent Curiosity Exchange post, On The Rise. It’s a bit of a meandering story, but I promise it comes together […]

After years of battling my weight and diet, a few years ago I was diagnosed as at risk for type 2 diabetes. The first sign of the diagnosis came when I was pregnant with my three boys, I had gestational diabetes with each of them. After my third baby I managed to lose weight and my blood […]

The first thing that caught my eye about Ed Piskor’s graphic novel Hip Hop Family Tree was its size. It’s rather large and feels substantial and hefty in your hands. It also intrigued me because it has a sort of flat, dated, faded quality to the colors and illustrations. It looks like it represents comics that […]

Earlier this year, my husband and I bought a house. But it wasn’t just any house; it was the home his grandfather had built back in the 1940s. It was the home where his father, aunt, and uncles had grown up. It was the home where he’d spent countless holidays and birthdays. We were so […]

The library’s Home Delivery program has existed in some form or another since the 1970’s when a group of business women delivered books to shut-ins.

Bread has been an important part of the human diet for many thousands of years, so it is curious to me that at the same time gluten-free has become a life-style choice for some, artisan breads are also on the rise. I have tasted many artisan breads from bakeries I’ve run across, all the while […]

Here in Wisconsin, we’re lucky enough to experience all four seasons. If you’re like me, you’ll find that autumn in Wisconsin tends to be especially delightful. With pumpkin patches, apple orchards, and colorful leaves, there is much to do and see during this final season before the cold and snow strikes again. One site that […]

A decade ago, I did not like romance novels, unless you count Jane Austen as a romance writer, which I didn’t. Then one day some friends childishly double-dog dared me to read The Reluctant Widow by Georgette Heyer, and bet that I couldn’t resist her. I lost the bet, but I won countless hours of […]
