Book Sites Are Always Worth a Look
Some of you may be familiar with the web site Books on the Path. I just had a delightful visit with the new owner and manager of that business, and thought you might be interested in taking a look.
Whoa
A little less than ten years ago, we had quite a thunderstorm head toward our house, coming from the southwest. It was a thunder-bumper of magnificent proportions. It was the kind of thing the Midwest would not need to be ashamed of. Our family started out sitting on the front porch, watching it come our …
Synchronized Corn on the Cob Eating
As many of you know, my daughter and son-in-law, and their five kids, have been at Oxford the last year, and just got home the night before last. We of course had to have ourselves a barbeque, along with a little synchronized corn on the cob eating in our front yard. And here is a …
Tintagel
Just a couple of quick pictures from the UK. As I have mentioned before, my oldest daughter and family have been at Oxford for the year while Ben has been studying there.

And in other related news, the July/August edition of The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (published by Johns Hopkins) reviewed Nate’s book and gave it …

Even Interestinger
Over the few years this blog has been up and going, I have periodically given a report on the web traffic doings here. The natural time for doing this is birthdays, but I was so busy that this blog’s third birthday passed by a few weeks ago without me noticing it. Oops and sorry. But …
More Leepikey Stuff
The good folks at Veritas Press asked me if I would write an open letter to Nate about Leepike Ridge for their monthly electronic newsletter. I was happy to do that, and you can read what I wrote at this web site. Be sure to check out Laurie Detweiler’s review of the book after my …
