If you’d like to join me in helping Lakota families and/or rural libraries this year, please read this post. Over 6 weeks in 2019, we raised $2669.94 for the Lakota families, touching 27 lives. What can we do in 2020?
Current total: Lakota, $521.62; Rural libraries, $321.62.

Anytime people say money can’t buy happiness, I scoff. Oh yes it can. How to get it. We’re almost always mindful of how much we spend, and we are fans of strategic spending (sport for PiC, massages for my pain, a bit of help with the dogs).
Adventures of Coyote and Badger
A coyote and a badger use a culvert as a wildlife crossing to pass under a busy California highway together. Coyotes and badgers are known to hunt together.

Now I want to write a children’s book about a coyote and a badger.
I would read this book!
