Have you heard about the book, "The Necklace"?
The Necklace: Thirteen Women and the Experiment That Transformed Their Lives
. is the true story of thirteen women from southern California who go in on ONE diamond necklace they named "Jewelia" and how they share it amongst themselves and others, where they wear it, how they use it for philanthropic purposes and most interesting to me is how they come to agreement regarding the "guidelines for using/lending etc.".
It is fascinating to me how 13 women can come to agreement, go back and read that again, I said agreement without it being a unanimous group decision. It's a good example of letting go of one's point of view and beliefs.
I can share from personal experience the amazing power a piece of fine jewelry can have. A number of years ago I was attending a workshop for women in Northern California and one of the participants designed and sold jewelry items that were worth thousands of dollars.
She happened to have a necklace with her that she had just finished which if I recall correctly she was going to sell for around $7500. She was gracious to let each of us try it on. What I remember about the experience was that the necklace (made out of precious stones) looked different on each woman that tried it on and each woman who tried it on looked different while wearing it. And it felt different than any other piece of jewelry I've ever wore, maybe it was because of the value, I don't know but it was an experience I'll always remember.
So get the book and read how one woman, convinced 12 other woman to go in on a piece of jewelry and how that rippled out touching hundreds and thousands of lives in the process.

Did you know that Librarians Helped Tame the Wild West?
Enjoy this recent article from the Chicago Tribune titled Librarians Helped Tame Wild West.
While there have been many changes and advancements in the Library profession in the past 100 years, I think Betsy Hearne's ending statement about librarians, "The librarian was a kind of apostle for culture. They were missionaries for literacy, knowledge and culture," continues to be true in today's world.
When was the last time you visited your Public Library?

This American Life
A few years back I stumbled onto Chicago Public Radio's This American Life radio program by Ira Glass which tells the most amazing stories of ordinary people. I can't tell you how many times I sat in my car to hear the entire story although I was at my destination. Now it is available for FREE as a podcast from iTunes (usually ranked #1) so I keep up with it at my convenience.
In 2007 they created a television version of the radio show which is broadcast on Showtime. Since I don't subscribe to Showtime I wasn't able to view it, until now with it being released on DVD. So I wanted to share this great news so that you too can now own and watch This American Life - Season One
without being a subscriber to Showtime.
Three particular segments that I liked were the story about a famous tame Brahma bull named Chance (who appeared on Letterman and elsewhere) that was cloned, and the clone was named (no kidding) Second Chance. One was about genetically modified pig farms that was very enlightening. And one was about a Mormon painter who goes in search of men with beards in Utah to use as models for his paintings about Jesus.
Besides it was just fun getting to see what Ira Glass looks like after listening to his voice all these years.
Highly recommend both the radio and the television show.

Are you a cord-cutter? I am...
While listening to the book "Click" by Bill Tancer on my ipod today I heard a new term, "cord-cutter".
A cord-cutter is someone who gives up the traditional land line in the home and uses a wireless phone exclusively. Apparently the number of cord-cutters increases dramatically every year.
Have to say that when I moved two years ago I became a "cord-cutter". No need for a land line, I just went with using my cell phone for all my "telephone" communication needs.
However the one thing I miss about not having a land line is that I am unable to send and receive faxes. So for a nominal fee I send and receive them via the fax machine at my local public library. A cost effective and green way to do business.

Because Nice Matters
"Because Nice Matters" is a saying printed on a wood block that my colleague Lisa Leonard Crase, the Children's Librarian at the Mary P. Shelton Public Library, Georgetown Branch kept on her desk.
Lisa passed away suddenly and unexpectedly last Wednesday at the age of 43 leaving two teenagers and a husband who adored and supported her in all she did.
Lisa and I worked on the transfer, installation and unveiling ceremony of a Ulysses S. Grant painting loaned to the Mary P. Shelton Public Library, Georgetown branch of the Brown County Public Library from a private collector in OH when I first started working for the library back in the fall of 2007 and on many more projects in the past year.
Her positive spirit, lack of complaint, ability to adapt to change, and handle patron issues of all kinds with sensitivity will remain with me. She was well loved by hundreds of children, (some now adults) and many patrons that she has served over the 15 years she worked at the Mary P. Shelton Public Library.
My life is richer for having known and worked with Lisa.

TODAY, Monday October 6th LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE & 5 Friends Video
Dear friends and family, I just received the link to this great video* in an email and wanted to share it with all of you, take action and pass it on to your friends if you feel so inclined!
By the way, I work in a public library; it is one of the places where people can fill out a form to register to vote. We have had a few registrations over the past few weeks, but last Friday and Saturday, we saw a dramatic increase of people coming in and requesting voter registration forms.
My sense that people are registering to vote that haven’t done so in a while or ever, was confirmed when after registering to vote, a gentlemen mentioned as he walked out the door last Friday, that the last election he voted in was when he voted for John F. Kennedy!
Find your voter registration info and more at:
Peace and Blessings,
Jill

My latest favoritist book....Green Housekeeping by Ellen Sandbeck
A few months back I came across the book, Green Housekeeping by Ellen Sandbeck at my local library. I picked it up, checked it out and brought it home and skimmed through it. It is an easy and quick read full of practical, sensible information.
I don't know about you but I cannot walk down the detergent/cleaning supply aisle in any store without getting a headache or nauseous or both between the perfumes and chemicals.
The good news for me and you is that this book is full of practical, simple, back to basics, more bang for your buck, non-toxic, thorough cleaning information.
For instance on page 151 she talks about how most commercial glass cleaners contain waxes which leave a residue after cleaning.
From my own experience I get so frustrated cleaning windows and mirrors, they always seem to streak, I've tried vinegar and newspapers you name it. I've tried it. However what I didn't know until reading this book is that first you have to remove the waxy residue first, then you can clean with plain vinegar, otherwise you keep smearing the waxy coating, duh!
From the book:
To remove the waxy residue: pour two cups water and a half cup distilled white vinegar into a spray bottle. Add a half teaspoon dish liquid. Spray on the glass surface, wait half a minute, then polish the glass dry with a clean rag. After the waxy buildup has been removed, the glass can be cleaned with plain white vinegar.
And it works...I've done it. and my windows and mirrors are now clean and clear!!
I confess it's been way too long since I've cleaned my shower, so this morning armed with a spray bottle of white vinegar, a box of borax and a scrub brush I went to it (following the information found on page 150 in the section "Removing Soap Scum"). With a little scrubbing after spraying vinegar and dusting borax around the shower and glass doors were sparkling within minutes.
I've had my box of borax for awhile so I don't remember how much it costs probably less than $4 and a gallon of white vinegar is pretty cheap so no need for expensive tile, shower, mold & mildew cleaners.
I'm all for saving money, the environment and energy when it comes to house cleaning so I'm going back to the basics using this book as a guide to rethinking what I use to clean and how I do it. And I'll pick up some additional shelf space with not as many other cleaning products sitting on the shelf.
Stay tuned for me unusual yet practical advice.....

From the Ground Up
I recently read another true story about a beginning gardener's experience. The book, From the Ground Up; The Story of a First Garden written by Amy Stewart chronicles her garden experience while living in the beach town of Santa Cruz, CA. I loved hearing about her trips to the local nursery (she must have spent a small fortune there) , her worm composting and her new found strength from all the lifting and work she was doing.
And her husband Scott Brown is co-founder and editor of "Fine Books and Collections Magazine" and owns an antiquarian book store, "Eureka Books" in where else but Eureka, California.
Her most recent book is, the New York Times bestselling Flower Confidential: The Good, the Bad, and the Beautiful in the Business of Flowers.

Jimmy Buffett and Swine Not?
I don't consider myself a Parrot Head yet I have enjoyed reading his previous books, "A Salty Piece of Land" and "A Pirate Looks at Fifty"this one seemed geared more toward young adults. It's based on a true story about a pet pig that moves to New York with it's family and lives in a four star hotel but has to remain hidden. The narrators of the story are the pig, "Rumpy"and "Barley" one of the children in the family.
Check out the link to the Today Show interview with Jimmy and Helen Bransford who inspired the book.
Great for younger readers, and anyone who has a pet pig otherwise I recommend reading one of his other books.

Loving Frank - book by Nancy Horan
I finished listening to the unabridged audiobook Loving Frank by Nancy Horan last night. The book is a fictionalized account of the true (some would say "scandalous") love story of the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright and Mamah Borthwick Cheney.
My interest in this book came from listening to a podcast from the BEA BookExpo 2007 Editors Buzz Forum where Susanna Porter from Random House shared about this new book that was coming out in the summer.. The cover of the book is lacking in my opinion and didn't really draw me in, then I remembered what it was about. Utilizinging my local public library (funded partially by my taxes) I checked out the CD version and listened to it on my iPod.
Admittedly I didn't know much about Frank Lloyd Wright or the buildings he designed, so I picked up another book in the library full of photos of his famous designs and was shocked to learn of the tragic ending to this story. Even knowing the ending before listening to the last few chapters still left me unsettled after finishing it.
Fascinating to read about Mamah's life and education. Reading of her remarkable ability to learn multiple languages, translation work for the Swedish writer, Ellen Key and and her interest/involvement in the feminist movement shows how far ahead of her time she was.
Reading (without judgement) of Frank and her life choices and situation, (especially during that time period), I cannot even begin to understand the mix of pain and joy it brought to them, their extended families, friends and clients.
Well written and interesting read.

Remember that game Pick Up Stix?
Well I've been picking up sticks since I got home from work tonight. We had quite the storm blow through here last night, thunder that just kept reverberating with non-stop lightning plus high winds. Put it all together and it equals a new version of pick up sticks.
Woke up this morning to survey the damage, very minimal actually. Lost one small/young tree and thank goodness it fell away from my car. Lots and lots of sticks and branches in the driveway and around the yard. I cleared the driveway this morning so I could go to work then came home and worked the immediate area around the house.
I'm betting this is going to be a regular activity this summer and unlike the game of "pick up stix" these sticks are scattered near and far and aren't as colorful. With a break in the humidity and high heat we have had for the past 5+ days, it was nice to be outside tonight with cooler air.

Living in Amish Country
In the area where I live there are Amish communities nearby. I don't see many families traveling by horse and buggy around town (although I did see a buggy with horse tied up in front of the local Family Dollar store once) . I've seen Amish shopping at Walmart, using the Public Library, and eating at restaurants.
Known for their craftsmanship and bakeries Miller's Bakery and Furniture and Keim Family Market are two nearby popular stores for locals and tourists.
I continue to learn about the Amish and so when a book caught my eye at the library the other day I checked it out and read it. Crossing Over; One Woman's Exodus from Amish Life by Ruth Irene Garrett with Rick Farrant. I found it interesting and informative to read this account from her point of view of her life as Amish and her decision to leave.

The Bartering of Flowers
Yesterday, I held my first every yard sale. Yes, folks chalk up another first for me! Although sales were disappointing I was able to meet some very nice neighbors and have an old burn barrel full of scrap metal taken away.
One of my friends dropped by that had never been down my driveway to see my house before. We were having a delightful conversation about the house, the view and of course the yard. With all the rain we have had this spring there are plants, flowers and weeds growing and blooming that I have no idea what they are.
Sadly I'm not even sure with many of the green plants that come up if they are a flower or a weed or a flowering weed. I'd like to be able to hold up a leaf in front of a magic lens and have it tell me all about it. I guess technology isn't quite there just yet but maybe in the future?
My friend is a superb cook and makes the best homemade apple pie on the planet and as I found out yesterday is a wealth of knowledge about gardens; flower and vegetable and plants in general . She gave me some great ideas about what to plant, what needed to be moved, suggested a raised bed vegetable garden etc. and shared with me some stories of plants that have been in her family for over 100 years through plant propagation. I plan on accepting her invitation to visit her yard to learn more and get some starts that she is willing to share with me.
As she said in our conversation it's all about "the bartering of flowers".
In fact after the sale was over and I returned home from collecting my signs posted around town there was a couple out on the road collecting a wild rose bush start to place in their yard.
The coincidence of all this is tied to a library book I just finished reading last week, The Invisible Garden; One woman's journey from soil to soul by Dorothy Sucher. It's a story similar to mine, Dorothy who lives in the Washington DC area goes to Vermont to visit a friend, ends up buying a ramshackle blue farmhouse with a stream running through the property and becomes consumed by what she calls "Garden Fever".
I look forward to continue my education regarding plants and gardens, digging in my yard, pulling weeds, seeing what "pops" up and what I can bring in and nurture and enjoy and the lessons and experiences they will bring.

My first lawn mower/mowing experience
Yes, folks this momentous occasion just had to be written about.
A nearby neighbor and I recently had a conversation about lawn mowers. I have a small patch of grass in my front yard that last year I did nothing about and with the drought there wasn't much growth.
I was thinking about getting a "reel" mower, the push mower that does not require gasoline, just human energy to push and pull it. He did some checking around and they are kinda pricey and I'm on a limited budget these days.
Tonight (sun still up) I'm working away at my computer and I hear my name being called, and there isn't a neighbor within calling distance. I run to the front door to find my neighbor with his daughter-in-law with a lawn mower in the back of his truck. He recently had shoulder surgery so he brought her along to help lift it in and out of the truck.
After filling it with gas and giving me a lesson on how to prime it and turn it on, I was off. It was a little daunting at first, loud and the grass was pretty high (at least a foot is most places). So I mowed a couple of strips then we checked for sticks and other debris that might be in the way.
Feeling that I could handle the job they left me a container of gas and were off. I was on my own. I decided to go for it and mowed a good 2/3 of the area before it got dark. I'm pretty sure I used arm muscles tonight that I haven't used in a while and may feel tomorrow. I just kept thinking, this is the first time I've ever used a lawn mower and/or mowed a lawn.
Growing up my brother got that job and then I've lived in condos and places that have had yard services.
I must say the yard looked much better where I'd mowed and I look forward to keeping it maintained.
Would I have liked to do the environmentally correct thing and used a reel mower, yes of course. Yet when I ask the universe for a lawn mower and one shows up for me to use for the entire season from a neighbor who has several sitting around, I accept it with gratitude
