With various types of funding being cut and libraries being closed, Fargo, ND has come up with an innovative plan. They will rent space and help to open a coffee shop in their downtown library.
The library will contribute 10,000 dollars to get the coffee shop up and running and then the coffee shop with pay  rent every month. They will carry pastries, cookies and various coffee drinks.

Now, I ask you, how cool is that? I love libraries. Many times in my life I have used the library in the various places we have lived as a refuge. A place to …read more

This has to go down as one of the weirdest things I have ever read.
A woman in the Birmingham Alabama area  was shot at, I assume, close range by her husband. He then shot himself.
Being a woman, she got a rag to hold to her head an went and did what any sensible person would do.

Another week…
Memorial Day weekend is always a fun weekend for us. Cookouts, horseshoes, maybe some horseback riding…hawk toss…
You don’t know what hawk tossing is?

 
From my salt and pepper collection..Avon.
Saturday again! Time for your, and my, weekly internet fix of the coolest, the neatest, the most cool…and the ones I found. 

Among the many things I collect is a particular type of vintage glass called Moonstone. It was put out by Anchor Hocking from 1941-1946. This is a dainty, and I mean DAINTY cream and open sugar set that was my mom’s. Just thought I would share this picture with you.
