THE TABLE by @armyvet5.bsky.social and @wbny.bsky.social with evocative illustration by Jason Griffin shares the love and lives of two families more similar than they are different with “a story only a table could tell.” 📚❤️📚#KidLit

I was lucky to take a trip to celebrate my husband’s good health news, but anxious about using my beginner’s language skills. I shouldn’t have worried.

Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with this one wild and precious extra day? #LeapYear

When your new haircut inspires a work of art, you know it’s going to be a good week. 🎨❤️

Tumbleweed Snowman is here! All fourteen feet of him! With thanks to The Albuquerque Flood Control Authority, the 2023 holiday season can now begin. ⛄🎄❤️
