    Dude, do you think this wasn’t a well-known phrase around libraries “wouldn’t this be a nice place to work if it wasn’t for all these members of the public? “

    We are exploring the smaller towns but know about Bart. Living in Nevada have been to San Francisco many times but my friend’s area is new to me.

    Yesterday, an zoom program for supporters of a theatre offered a course on the basic steps to dancing which is generally performed on stage in musicals. She explained it so well suggesting that we could have fun dancing with favourite songs at home with nobody watching what we did.

    After walking the dog in cold, very windy and rainy weather this afternoon, I found a station with 60's music on my Sonos speaker to listen to while I prepped and then blanched my winter supply of asparagus. I danced the steps I learned yesterday as I moved around. It was fun, warmed me up beautifully and it will definitely be something that I will do more often. It is amazing what different muscles one uses when dancing compared to walking. I usually have classical music playing so really enjoyed the pop music for a change. Fun day!

    Razz: Sounds like you found a good way to put some fun into food prep!

    My sister and I went to Maudslay State Park in Newburyport, which was loaded with woodland trails and massive rhododendrons blooming all over the park. I also saw the largest stand of lady slippers in bloom that I've ever seen! I counted at least 22 blossoms. It was the first time I ever visited in the spring, and my sister's first visit ever. We had a beautiful day.

    Walking among lady slippers and rhodos in bloom - perfect spring image!

    Rosa, speaking of Newburyport, have you read my favorite novel, John Marquand's Point of No Return? It would be fun to read it and the visit Newburyport.

    I've done that - visited a place based on reading the book. As a kid, I used to love all the Misty of Chincoteague books. I finally took a vacation and went to Chincoteague and Assateague Islands. It was off-season and after the Pony Roundup, so was a nice quiet place to walk around and see all the things from the books, as well as the wildlife and wild ponies.
