Thank You for Libraries Day

According to this blog, Thank You for Libraries Day is a thing, though I doubt very many people celebrate it.  So today I'm trotting out the Very Hungry Caterpillar.
As usual, I've also got ear baubles.  These were birthday gifts from a very sweet patron.
The Very Hungry Caterpillar is one of those classics, and yet I'd never read it until yesterday!  The book has the bright illustrations one would expect from Eric Carle, and it tells a simple story about a caterpillar who tries to whet his huge appetite on various fruits.  The book teaches basic counting skills, the days of the week, and the basics of a butterfly's life cycle.  My old friend humor makes an appearance when the caterpillar inevitably eats too much, but all ends well.  The story reminds me of my sister, the family's butterfly lover.  We ALL loved butterflies, but she loved 'em a lot.

If y'all have a library in the vicinity, give 'em a visit, and if the librarian isn't a jerk tell 'em how you appreciate 'em.  Sometimes we librarians can sadly be jerks...if pushed to their limit, that is.

Love,

    I know I haven't commented for awhile, but I AM enjoying your bows. I never read this book either, but I have heard of it. They did a very good job on the bow and the earrings are adorable.

      I hope things are going better for you. I know you've been busy and that things have been kinda rough for you and your family. Yeah, these Eric Carle books are pretty cute! Several of them are read aloud on YouTube if you want to take a gander.

Let freedom ring

Yet another patriotic one.  This one came from Etsy, but I don't know what shop it was. This one is one of three that my mother got for me in one fell swoop.  The others are the jellybean bow from June 3rd and the flag bow from June 14th . Like them, this bow is a big one. Let freedom ring, baby!  I remember sharing my memories of Flag Day, but I don't remember sharing memories of the Fourth of July...at least, not here.  Oh, I've got so many!  Halloween is my mother's favorite holiday, and Independence Day was my dad's for reasons unknown.  May have had something to do with his love for history.  But anywho, about April Daddy would start setting aside a little money here and there for fireworks, and as July 4th rolled around he'd buy fireworks with that money.  A few here, a few there, a whole sh!tload at Reeve's Boomland in Charleston...oh, Boomland.  I liked going there, but as I grew older I began to realize that it was kinda a dangerous...

Pac-Man fever

For the record, I suck at Pac-Man.  I've only played it a handful of times, but each time I couldn't get past the first level.  I guess it's one of those games that requires practice and patience...and patience is NOT one of my virtues!  Regardless, I do like Pac-Man.  Compared to the dumb video games we have today Pac-Man's simple innocence is...well, it's pretty nice.  Unfortunately I'm about to make myself look like a complete hypocrite, because my Pac-Man is munching more than just little white pellets! Phooey on pellets and fruit and ghosts, Pac-Man's hitting the hard stuff!  The Etsy carrier, DollfaceDesignss , goes heavy on the horror, so I guess Pill-Popper Pac-Man is kinda tame compared to Psycho .  Whatevs, I like my accessories a little (or a lot) on the offbeat side, so I'm happy.  This is a mighty nice bow, by the way.  Some of my bows pull my hair like mad, but this one slid right in. In addition to the goofy hair bow I've gone ...

International Sloth Day

Y'all know what that means! I think I've worn and shown this bow before (shop name is CherylsBowtasticBows ), but it's one of my favorites because SLOTHS, that's why!  I don't think I ever showed y'all my earrings, though. Those also came from Etsy (shop name is JMDesignsbyUS ), and they're made of wood.  JMDesigns is located in Sedalia, so usually when I order from them I get my item(s) toot sweet.  I never have been to Sedalia, by the way.  They seem to be a tornado magnet, having been hit in 1952, 1973, 1977, and 1980, so maybe I'd best NOT go.  The tornado in 1952 hit the Missouri State Fair, by the way.  Normally it's a bad thing for a tornado to hit during the night, but in that case it was a very good thing, as the fairgrounds were fairly empty.  Indeed, the only fatality in the 1952 storm was in a mobile home, not on the fairgrounds.  But enuff of that; this is supposed to be about sloths, not tornadoes!  If you've read my doll blog t...
