The after effects of the ice storm. Hope for the best for everyone affected. We’ve been lucky, no loss of power or water, no fallen trees or branches, at least so far. Just not used to seeing Texas covered in ice.

As we anticipate the cold rolling in …tried a new recipe, an adaptation of a Japanese meat and potato soup called Nikujaga. Really delicious with a slightly sweet broth. What are y’all doing to keep warm?

A peek at the Pearl’s “Neighbors Together Night” last night. So much to do – bubble machine, a live DJ, a firetruck to view, first responders to meet & vendors of all kinds, plus fall-themed events @ the new Pullmans Market. Thank you to the Twig Book Shop for hosting me on this very special night!

For yesterday's Independent Bookstore Day, stopped by The Twig in San Antonio, a wonderful indie bookshop that lifts up local authors, too. Asked for a rec, and purchased a new book!

Lots of National Parks fans for Saturday’s B&N La Cantera IF I WERE A PARK RANGER event. Some wore National Park T-shirts. And…a former National Park Ranger stopped by, too
Thank you B&N La Cantera for arranging this fun event!

Thanks to the Lafayette, Louisiana families who stopped by Barnes & Noble Lafayette for the SECRETS OF THE SNOW GLOBE story time & craft on Saturday, March 22. The young artists allowed me to photograph their creations – I think their glittery snow globes are simply magical. See next post!

Yay to Kris, my friend & CP, on her awesome Sunday story time and signing of BE MY VALENSLIME @ B&N Northwoods. That window display was a dream ❤ - the kids were engrossed with Kris's animated reading & had fun with the coloring sheets of their favorite monster, Snoodle. Congrats, my friend!
