I highly recommend two nonfiction books by Bill Bryson "The Body: A guide for Occupants" and "A Walk in the Woods." I hope that everybody is well and is staying true to his or her school. Or some rhyme to that effect...Or, as Will Ferrell says, stay classy my friends!

I’m writing songs and poems. I’m not bored. May these times of separation bring us together, unite us, help us realize we are all in this together, we are all equal, we are one. Stay safe. Stay well.

For those of you who have Amazon Prime, I recommend streaming "Faberge: A Life of It's Own." This documentary looks at the history of the Russian jeweler from its beginnings as artisans for the Tsar, through the tumultuous Russian Revolution, to today's collectors. 

Seeing the spectacular array of truly exquisite pieces in close up makes this documentary  the ultimate exhibition of Faberge.        -Jen  Owens

I have always loved making things from wood.  I am learning and teaching myself how to make wooden toys, walking sticks, inspirational signs and many more wonderful things.  When things get right again I will look for craft fairs and websites to sell my products.
