I think we’re having a West Coast winter here in the east – 11 degrees today!

I just finished reading The Winter Pony by Iain Lawrence and blogged about it. When a book moves me, I know the writer did a great job. I love you new old desk! I would find it inspiring. Happy reading and writing.

Could I just say that I need a bumper sticker that says “I love school librarians”? I spent the day Friday at Truro Elementary with Nic Mosley, another excellent librarian. Love your story about the student!

I’ve managed to finagle an invite to Rideau Hall on the 24th, so I’ll be having dinner with the GG after all – just found out on Thursday. Found the perfect dress for $7.00 today:) I’ll tell you all about it when I get back!
