Book Review - Homer's Odyssey By Gwen Copper

Young Adult books are awesome, this I know. The writers and plots are sometimes so much better than what adult authors are writing. I’m not one to negate a great adult book though, and especially an animal story at that.

A Perfect Fall Day

This is our view out the front windows of the library looking toward I-29 in Dearborn. There probably are not going to be too many more beautiful days like this left this year. The maple tree across the street is about half turned in color to a beautiful orange. The tree seems to be the perfect complement to the house and yard where it stands.  Not every bit of landscaping turns out so well.

October Is National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month

If you are already a pet owner, one of the smartest things you can do is to have your pet spayed or neutered to prevent any more unwanted animals from ending up in shelters.

Most shelters are in dire need of assistance and appreciate any help you can give.

Do You Love Lucy??

The enormously popular sitcom, I Love Lucy, premiered on October 15, 1951. TV’s first smash hit starred the real-life husband and wife team Desi Arnaz and Lucille Ball as Ricky and Lucy Ricardo.

The black-and-white series originally ran from October 15, 1951 to May 6, 1957 on CBS.
