Leigh appeared from around the side of the abbey. "RACHEL.” There were times for hugging. This was one of them.</p> <p>"Ah, so you do know this wench, Marian," Tuck observed.</p> <p>"Hah, wench," Rachel was almost too happy to be annoyed, then, "Wait, Marian?"</p> <p>"Thank you for all your help," Leigh offered her hand.</p> <p>"Any time, gracious lady." Tuck took her hand and kissed it. Rachel raised her eyebrows, and Leigh gave her a look that said ‘Don’t ask.’</p> http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/timely-adventures-rachel-evans-maid-marian-enters-robin-hood-legend#comments Grandview Thu, 13 Jun 2013 16:30:38 +0000 jdannaldson 61977 at http://www.mymcpl.org Miss Kelly's Award-Winning Storytime http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/miss-kellys-award-winning-storytime <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blog-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blog_image" width="341" height="317" alt="" src="http://www.mymcpl.org/_uploaded_resources/mokan_rev.jpg?1370890859" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>When I begged my manager 5 years ago to let me stop doing storytime, I had no idea it would be one of the best ideas I would ever have. That somewhat selfish request on my part introduced Miss Kelly and her storytimes to the Grandview Branch. Over the last five years, Kelly Meyers has proven herself to be a wonderful asset to our branch and our community. Her Tuesday morning storytimes have grown by leaps and bounds over the years and continue to be the most popular programs we have at Grandview.</p> http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/miss-kellys-award-winning-storytime#comments Front page Front Page Grandview Mon, 10 Jun 2013 18:00:42 +0000 jdannaldson 61953 at http://www.mymcpl.org The Timely Adventures of Rachel Evans: Still No Coffee in the Middle Ages http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/timely-adventures-rachel-evans-still-no-coffee-middle-ages <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blog-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blog_image" width="423" height="238" alt="" src="http://www.mymcpl.org/_uploaded_resources/tuckrobinjohn.jpg?1369940894" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>Rachel blinked groggily. "Too much sunlight. Why birds. Turn off." She fumbled for her curtain to block out the dreaded light and instead came up with a handful of leaves. Who put leaves in her bedroom? Why would anyone do that?</p> <p>She opened her eyes.</p> <p>Oh.</p> <p>Right.</p> <p>Sherwood.</p> <p>Rachel sat up, trying to get rid of the crick in her neck. Apparently she had been sleeping on Will Scarlet’s shoulder. Well, a little drool wouldn’t hurt him much.</p> <p>"Morning." Will grinned at her.</p> http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/timely-adventures-rachel-evans-still-no-coffee-middle-ages#comments Grandview Thu, 30 May 2013 18:34:28 +0000 jdannaldson 61725 at http://www.mymcpl.org Technology Stinks! http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/technology-stinks <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blog-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blog_image" width="354" height="317" alt="" src="http://www.mymcpl.org/_uploaded_resources/technology_collage_0.jpg?1369918289" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>That’s what I have been tempted to scream on numerous occasions as I try to learn yet another unfamiliar piece of technology.

This is nothing." Rachel made a stern face and then hiccupped. "This is nice, but nothing to worry about." She took a sip and smiled pleasantly at Robin Hood, who was real and standing right in front of her like it was completely normal. For him, she supposed it was.</p> <p>"Very well then, Rachel-on-a-quest." Robin folded his arms against his chest.

They valiantly soldiered on, despite the wonderful "spring" weather, to produce the very best in smoked meat cuisine.

She wanted to gain as much information as she could, still processing the concept of Robin Hood being real.</p> <p>Rachel liked to believe in things. She wanted to believe that Batman guarded Gotham City, that magic could be real, and that Arthur would return. Sometimes history said one thing and she had to accept it, but a lot of time, there was room for leeway. Regardless of facts, she still liked to hope.</p> http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/timely-adventures-rachel-evans-gathering-around-old-oak-tree#comments Grandview Wed, 08 May 2013 19:44:30 +0000 jdannaldson 61160 at http://www.mymcpl.org Acupressure: How to Heal and Help Yourself (And Your Cat and Horse!) http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/acupressure-how-heal-and-help-yourself-and-your-cat-and-horse <div class="field field-type-text field-field-external-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> http://www.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781594772078/MC.GIF&amp;client=20272&amp;type=xw12&amp;upc=&amp;oclc=&amp; </div> </div> </div> <p>Wow! I started learning acupressure to help migraines. I got huge relief! From the book <em>The Acupressure Atlas</em>, "…acupressure is a gentle pressure or massage on specific points of your body. It is based on beliefs that our internal organs are connected with pathways to our bones and muscles." The philosophy believes that the pathways or "energy channels" connect the two. I focused on the diagrams, a few terms, and directions.&nbsp;If you want, you can really get in depth with this technique. I used MCPL resources and diagrams off of Google.</p> http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/acupressure-how-heal-and-help-yourself-and-your-cat-and-horse#comments accupressure Grandview Tue, 30 Apr 2013 15:45:39 +0000 sekey 60562 at http://www.mymcpl.org The Timely Adventures of Rachel Evans: Two Merry Men and the Curious Fashions of the French http://www.mymcpl.org/blog/timely-adventures-rachel-evans-two-merry-men-and-curious-fashions-french <div class="field field-type-filefield field-field-blog-image"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <img class="imagefield imagefield-field_blog_image" width="423" height="317" alt="" src="http://www.mymcpl.org/_uploaded_resources/alanadale.jpg?1366985068" /> </div> </div> </div> <p>The young man straightened up, grinning at her. "My apologies, I didn’t mean it like that." He whistled over his shoulder.
