Amazing Adventures of the Shushing Librarian

S.L. here,

Auntie Nettie is letting me take over today so I can tell you about my vacation out West. I tagged along like I usually do and got to do lots of exciting things.

First up, I was totally dehydrated from the plane ride, so I had to gulp down a large jug of water, from “well….fleet.” Sadly, the water wasn’t from a well.



Then I took a few moments to get to know the locals. This little bird’s nest is about the size of my space in New York.
I tucked myself in a pocket so I could travel around. I was perfectly situated at little people’s height. Do you realize how many knees that meant I had to see? Trust me. There are some UGLY knees out there.I shared an enormous picnic lunch with the kids. The kids and I saw eye-to-eye on the importance of carrots in our diet.
I also did a bit of gardening while I was there. These are some ginormous tomatoes.
Drew invited me to go play in the backyard. This was actually an excuse for him to try and bury me in the dirt. Thanks Drew.
I thought Drew was my biggest fan. Turns out my biggest fan and I aren’t such a good match for each other. I suffered a fall from grace and was injured.
My arm is very broken, and is now in a sling for a long time. I thought I should tell you how I felt about it.
But didn’t let that stop me. I still went on some interesting adventures. For instance, I went for a walk through a cactus forest,
where I was set upon by a hungry and annoyed rattlesnake.
Needless to say, I froze. It’s a good thing I did. Some of the visitors to the forest didn’t quite make it.
After this adventure, I went out for a much-needed meal. I thoroughly enjoyed chips and salsa, some chili verde, some hand-made tortillas, and some carne asada tacos at Los Lupes.
The next day, I tried to go kayaking, but between my arm and being landlocked, I didn’t get anywhere.
Instead, I set up my sign …
and provided directions for a lost praying mantis.
I was so successful, that I was crowned queen of information professionals.
That’s right folks.
