A version of this book list, has been sitting in a draft file, waiting patiently to be linked to the larger world.
It's a source of debate, but the L and A homestead library likely outweighs the Wolf oven that baked this morning's cinnamon rolls. A collection of bird books, 10 feet of well-used cook books, a growing department of construction/engineering/design titles and double-shelved rows of fiction indicate many things. Most importantly, it looks as though a visit to Ruidoso Downs will result in the quadrupling of our own must read book list. (Proper inspiration to bring this list to light!)

hey family! I'm glad to see that Buttercup rolled you off to somewhere new. Like New Mexico! Awesome! Nora, I noticed Shay&Nigels' book on your list, and I clicked the link to Powell's online bookstore. (SO COOL) The book didn't have a review written for it yet, so I nominate you as the premier writer and reviewer of EVERYTHING GOOD IN THE WORLD. I noticed that in a proceeding comment post someone 'got the job'. I on the other hand just quit. Now making my Seattle batting average: 4 Quits, 3 x Fired and 2 Walk-outs. I am going back to school. Does Clearwater have a program for 19 to 99 year olds?
So it's official? You've parted ways with the non-profit and their pesky need for consensus? I think congratulations are in order here too! As long as you're not planning to leave your position as acting executive director of the Owlhouse.
I will be looking for work soon. If you really think it suits my natural knee-jerk need to be contrary, maybe I can find employment as the reviewer of all good things! (The book is fantastic but my review won't get to Powells for a couple months.)
Somebody is working on an adult version of a Clearwater/Sudbury school for adults. Remember my need to be contrary? Apply here. We'll talk!!
