Where does the time go?

Really, I thought my last post was 3-4 days ago, not 12. I want to share with you my new favorite book series, the Temeraire novels by Naomi Novik. If I tell you that they are set during the Napoleonic Wars and that a dragon is one of the main characters, many of you will say "Oh, so she's one of those...."

It should be enough to say that Novik's favorite authors are Jane Austen and Patrick O'Brian. it was enough for me, anyway, when Media Specialist Mary Lewis told me to read them. I love them! Three books so far. His Majesty's Dragon is the first one. I have them loaded on my Palm Treo. So comforting while waiting in line...

I was tagged...

Norma Blake is her blog at www.njstatelib.org/blakesblog tagged me to request that I play the game. That requires me to list three things about myself that most people don't know. OK,
I'll play.
1. I call Freedom, MO, population 22, my home town.
2. My newest grandchild, Zachary Guenther, arrived from Guatamala on January 27 (see his picture on our webpage.) He was born in April.
3. I completed all the course work and passed the quals for a PhD from SCILS, but never did the dissertation. Loved the program and met two life long friends as a result of it.
Now I am supposed to tag three other bloggers, so that would be
Peter Bromberg, Janie Herman, and Robert Lackie, all on Library Garden spot... Is that cheating?
