This and That

(A country road in Elgin from our drive last weekend, in between storms.)

Ah, this week was pretty crazy with all the rain and end-of-school activities for the boys. Then Thursday morning, Ryan went for his daily bike ride and had a small crash on the way home. He’s fine, other than a few scratches and some very sore ribs which are, thankfully, not broken. He’s recovering and we hope to have a very quiet weekend at home, with no bike riding. I’m still working to set up my store, but the process has been slower than I anticipated. I’m trying to be patient with myself and let things come together in their own way. In the meantime, here are a few things that caught my eye this week.

One more article about “Mad Men’s” Coke commercial.

Casa Ruby, a home for transgender people in search of family.

The Wimberley Public Library is saving items found after the recent floods.

Paper books versus digital books. (I have noticed the lack of immersion myself.)

A glimpse inside the world of Nepal’s child goddess.

On hair and self-worth.

And what teachers really want as end-of-year gifts. (Skip Pinterest this time around.)

Have a great weekend!
