PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Framing Up a New Year with a New View?

Rounding the bend, in fields of gold.

Fire Island National Seashore

Delightful lighthouses - with absolutely necessary - necessities.  
I want that window.
 Close as a selfie as you are going to get.

 No one, except me and my friend, as far as the eye can see.

 Focusing in on the tiniest details, right underfoot.

2016 Washes In

Fire Island Beach, January 1, 2016
Looking West, and then looking East.

Here's to washing away the last of 2015. 
May 2016 bring you only waves of good things.

New Year's Wishes!





courtesy of a Neil Gaiman tumblr


I meant, and mean them all. I wasn't going to write a new one this year. But...

Be kind to yourself in the year ahead. 

Remember to forgive yourself, and to forgive others. It's too easy to be outraged these days, so much harder to change things, to reach out, to understand.

Try to make your time matter: minutes and hours and days and weeks can blow away like dead leaves, with nothing to show but time you spent not quite ever doing things, or time you spent waiting to begin.

Meet new people and talk to them. Make new things and show them to people who might enjoy them. 

Hug too much. Smile too much. And, when you can, love.

Happy Reading in the New Year!

I started 2013 in Idaho with three of my nieces and nephews, so it is fitting that the chapter book of this year end the same way.

Much could be said, and may, eventually about this year...

But for now,
from our reading pile to yours,

May your 2014 be filled snuggles, adventures, excitement, good books, library trips, arts and crafts, travels, and quality time with friends and family.

Happy New Year from Auntie Nettie's Attic and her trunks full of books, yarn, and beloved nieces and nephews.
