You may know, I’m on the Pinterest, and if you’re not personally on the Pinterest consider this fair warning: Stay off: You are perfectly awesome without it and you probably need all the hours in your days for your life and such, if you don’t care to heed this warning… well, welcome!

I’ve been getting ready for Father’s Day and all week I’ve had Frances England’s Daddy O song in my head – pretty decent song to be stuck there. It’s from one of the CD’s Bunny and I came across in our methodical search of the library’s children’s music section (i.e. grabbing random pretty [...]
