Austen Movie Marathon from the Library



“Movie Marathon from the Library”

“Hi, I’m looking for some books… do you have anything by Jane Austen?”  Irene asked the librarian behind the desk.
            “Jane Austen… let me see.”  Karen began to quickly peck on the keys of the computer with her long, red acrylic nails.  “Let me show you what section they’re in.  Mansfield Park, Emma, Persuasion…”
            “Northanger Abbey,” Irene interrupted, “I haven’t read that one yet.”
            “Oh,” Karen stared at the bookshelf for a moment, “I don’t think we have that one.  Pride and Prejudice instead?” 
            “Quiet!”  Rita, the oldest and strictest of the librarians hissed as she wheeled a cart of books by.

A Garden Gnome’s Revenge




A Garden Gnome's Revenge

Irked after being poked, prodded and stepped on by three-year olds and their grandmothers all morning, Garrick decided to retaliate.  Revenge was on the mind of this garden gnome and he was determined to make mischief.  He first knocked over some large decorated pots, the hideous ones from months ago that had been reduced to 50% and still weren’t selling.
