Fun and games in the children’s department

Well, storytime sessions are ending this week and it is hard to say goodbye to some of the children when they “graduate” to the next level! But it is heartwarming to hear what happens at home.  Grandma told me her daughter was singing “Eency Weency Spider” and was amazed that her 12 month old already knew it! (We sang that song every week during Baby Time.)

Tag Homework

Well, it was really easy to set up accounts with del.icio.us and LibraryThing.  I do like using LibraryThing, it has already given me a few good leads on what to read next. And I am plum out of books at the moment so have had to re-reread my copy of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!

My two new accounts are: http://del.icio.us/jerseyg1rl and http://librarything.com/catalog/jerseyg1rl

Yeah! Thanks for the tip! Here is my “homework” from last week. 

Play Time

I was playing around onthe Online Image generator.  In honour of  Chinese New Year, I looked up and found my name in Chinese. I saved it as a word file and tried to upload it here, but had trouble doing that.

a long way from home

Yes, it is I, the Jersey Girl, even though it has been 30 years or more since I resided there.  It must have been the magnetic pull of the North Pole (or perhaps other northern heartstrings) that has kept me here in Canada, although my heart is still drawn towards NJ. Are there any other Jersey vagabonds out there? What is it about that place that has gotten into our blood and refuses to let go? It can’t all be Tony Soprano’s fault, can it?
