Ah, Santore Branch, I like you. I usually know what I'm looking for when I walk into a library, but…read moresometimes that takes the fun out of things. At this library I always stumble upon a few books I had been meaning to read, which makes me happy. The last time I was there, over the weekend, there were a bunch of books on pets (fiction and nonfiction) in the new book area, which was really cool. I think I almost gave the older guy at the counter a heart attack when he saw that I had racked up $16.25 in overdue book fines. He acted like he had never seen such a thing, and asked if I wanted to pay it off all at once or just pay a little as I go. (Ha ha!) It's a good thing that I walk to this branch and have to carry the books home. Otherwise, I'm sure I'd sign out 10 at once and accumulate even more fines.

A hidden gem in Queen Village!…read more I stumbled in after running errands in the City today. Beautiful selection of books, magazines, gifts, coffee making supplies, greeting cards and more. The associate (owner?) at the register said they just recently opened in December before the holidays. There's also an Inciardi Prints machine here. It has been bringing a lot of clientele to the store, per the associate. I was in need of some caffeine so it was perfect that they had a fridge stocked with beverages. I purchased a lavender & maple oat milk latte. It was a great pre-afternoon pick-me-up. Book and coffee lovers would be in heaven here. Highly recommend.

Extra shout out to Emily reaching quilting 101, who goes above and beyond to make sure that 6-9pm is still a productive learning time, assigning easy homework we can do independently, and literally offering to lend me a sewing machine for home because I'm so behind. I look forward to taking more of their classes! From bras to jackets, they have weeks-long series as well as one days.

I felt we had been friends hanging out for years talking about each detail of the area, and I have never been anywhere near any of these streets before. We started at the local cheese and meat shop just up the block, where we had a few tasty treats. Personally, I could have spent the rest of the afternoon tasting the cheese and meats, but off we went to our next stop of balsamic and oil tastings. Off to an expresso spot and then to learn more about the neighborhood shops and stands. We took a short walk over to see some wonderful side streets where we were brought over for dessert and then a local favorite spot for some Grandma's pizza. Each spot we made it to was filled with life, and you can see in Jacquie's smile how she loved sharing the community with others. Next time we make it back to the area, we will look up to see what other tours she offers. Easy short walks and not hard for any age.
