Tonight at bedtime, I gave Handsome Boy a smooch on his little cheek, as usual.

We recently returned from our trip to Canada and Michigan, where my family spent some very precious time together. It was perfect and I cherished every moment-can't you tell? Every time I look at my sons, a non-stop video plays in my head filled with moments from the time they were born to the present and I am SO proud of the young men they have become. Their wit and charm, love and compassion makes me all teary-eyed and leaves me smiling from ear to ear.
I am the shrimp now, they all tower over me and here I am wearing 2 1/2 inch heels!
Happy Mother's Day to Me- I am so blessed! Happy Mother's Day to you too!

I've been so busy lately I haven't had time to post and I apologize and hope to get back to posting regularly.
This past month I worked on illustration gifts for my sons. We just got back from a week's vacation with my them and my family in Michigan and Canada; it was so wonderful and was just what I needed. I will post fun photos later. Above are the illustrations which I created and had printed 16 x 20 and framed. They turned out great and the boys really liked them. I decided to create one background illustration and use it for both designs since both boys love music and enjoy playing the guitar, so it seemed appropriate. For the foreground illustration I worked from photos that I took of them a few years ago. My youngest son (bottom illustration above) has short hair now and my older son (top above) actually wears his hair a tad longer so this was a nice way to capture their younger years.
Above, a photo of the illustrations side by side right after my sons unwrapped their gifts.

I have had a lot of people send me links to excellent things that I think other librarians might want. However, since I’m such a stuffy anti-capitalist, I sometimes shy away from “you might want to buy this” posts. Then my inbox fills up and I get into competitive Inbox Zero mode and I realize that one of the things that I like about my readers is that they’re not all like me and so this is why I am posting these.
- Excellent library love t-shirt from Gluekit’s new PartofIt project (launching any day now) which designs neat looking stuff to help raise funds for non-profits.
- Threadless “check out” double entendre t-shirt for your favorite bibliophile
- If you read the BibliOdyssey blog (and you should) you might be pleased to know that there is a companion book full of delightful images from ancient texts. I had the pleasure of meeting PK when I was in Australia and I had no idea something like this was in the works. However, I got a copy last week and while I’m still poring through the frontmatter, the restof it is the real deal. Nice book and the blog post about it has more information on the convoluted process of getting a blog into print with associated rights-haggling etc.
- Lastly, I was cleaning up my house up north and came across a few copies of Revolting Librarians Redux still in their “prepared for mailing” state. If you want one, KR and I are e-baying them off with the proceeds to go to the EFF (or another deserving charity if you’re so inclined). KR and I are pretty geographically dispersed, so signed copies might be a non-option, but ask us and we’ll do what we can. Want a copy? Click here.

Hey sweetie!!
Happy Mothers Day!!!
oxoox,
jessi
Happy mom's day to you! Love this picture of all your boys! so glad you had that time together.
Ahhh, I love that photo of shrimpy you with your sons. You don't have it quite as bad as me though. All my sons are 6'2 - 6'4, ditto on hubby. even my daughter is 5'10". I'm 5'2" and don't wear heels. I once posted a photo on my blog of me surrounded by my family and someone made a comment that they didn't know I was a "little person".
