We are in the midst of a serious heat wave, people! The Times released a whole article honing in on comparable heat waves in New York History: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/07/nyregion/new-york-today-the-heat-is-here-heat-wave.html?_r=0. But before you head to […]
My Brother’s Hungarian Doppelgänger

The Pool Float Revolution
I am giving Taylor Swift credit for bringing back the pool float in all its glory. Not to say that it ever went away, (not trying to start some sort […]
WVL & The Dream Closet
I have been wearing some of my grandmother’s costume jewelry lately. Initially, I was slightly put off by this prospect. I didn’t want to wear her necklace as if it […]

Amelia Bedelia & Idioms
I understand, I totally do understand, why Amelia Bedelia is endearing to young readers across multiple generations. I find her endearing! I think the books are funny, and she’s a […]
Patterned Patchwork
I’m really feeling the ‘shabby chic’ look—in small doses, and with a greater emphasis on the chic than the shabby. (Why do I keep spelling this shappy?) Mainly in the […]
Jane Austen Extravaganza
I’ve always loved Jane Austen. There’s something about reading her novels that makes me feel so absolutely and totally immersed in her late 18th Century reality. I know this is a […]
