It should be of no surprise

that I fell asleep for awhile. Then YKWIA called and we had a great talk for over an hour. So now for a bit of blogging before bed. Here are some stories I've been following:

Standoff in Alabama Ends in Boy’s Rescue and Kidnapper’s Death
FBI: Bombs found in Alabama kidnapper's bunker

Yay! I'm so glad that he's freed. I wish him and his family well. Thank goodness he made it through this, and just in time for his sixth birthday.

I came across a picture of me today from when I was eleven. 'Little House on the Prairie', the television series, was in full swing, since it was 1978, hence the calico dress my mother made. And I look so stereotypically like I'm going to be a librarian, don't I? Of course I haunted the school library and, later, the public one. And in high school I was a library aide. For someone who didn't intend to be one, I didn't have a chance, did I? And look at those 70s glasses!
