Some people find it odd that “my” library is at the end of the wing where the music department has some of their classrooms. When the air conditioning is on we close the doors, but for much of the year sounds from the band room make their way to my desk and I love it. … Continue reading Listen

My first Kate Spade

I parked on South Lake and meandered along the “lake,” making … Continue reading Tulips and kisses – Albany love
