Life lately… I’m hoping to get this out on Thursday because, if not, it will be the third Friday of the month! You know how some days you just wake up in a funky mood? Yeah, that was me yesterday. Unfortunately, it was also Nigel. It was the first day of the week with nothing …
Life lately… As most of you know, I’m not, by nature, a calendar person. I don’t like using them, but I have discovered, with my docent responsibilities, they are a necessary evil. That being said, it really didn’t occur to me until Tuesday that next week is Christmas! I don’t even know if I’ve got …
Life lately… Yes, I’m going to say it…can you believe Thanksgiving is next week in the US? I am sitting here looking at all my pumpkins and wondering if I could just put little Santa hats on them and call it Christmas. What do you think? If you’ve been around, you know I’ve been having …
Life lately… Where in the world did October go? It’s my favorite month, and we are already at the third Thursday of the month? How can that be? I just celebrated a birthday and heard from all of my people. I love hearing from all of them on the same day! Nigel is still struggling …

An update… I actually gave my first public tour this past Saturday! I was even more nervous than I was for my graduation tour. I did discover it’s not a good idea to take along your notes, at least, for me! I kept checking them to make sure I’d not left anything out. If I …
An update… I am so glad to have finished with my docent graduation tour. I promise to write a post about it soon. I have already scheduled my first public tour as well as scheduling additional training for two different kinds of docent experiences. I’m so glad Nigel doesn’t mind me being gone so much. …
An update… I have my docent graduation tour prepared and have been practicing like crazy on Nigel. I go over it almost every night in my head, too! I’m hoping to go to the museum this Friday to make sure the items I’ve selected are still on display. They are always opening new exhibits or …
An update… My last docent class is this coming Saturday. I have my graduation tour date set, and I’m firming up the theme. I’ve got the art pieces picked out. I just need an audience! I thought a Thursday afternoon in June would be fine for most everyone’s schedule. Guess what? My people are going …
Nothing new… How is life for you today, my friends? Docent training is going well. I had been thinking I really hadn’t learned much. But, I was talking with a friend today, and I starting rattling off all the things I’ve learned. I kinda shocked myself! It has been fascinating, to say the least. Someday, …
