Do you remember a couple of years back during the St. Jude’s or bust trip when we stopped by Dollywood? If not, it basically breaks down to this: my friend Lola is a turbo fan of Dolly, and since we were in the neighborhood, it seemed a shame not to stop off and check it out. Well, had I known that Lola would spend the entire drive there providing Dolly facts and tidbits {including musical renditions that could literally make your ears bleed}, I might’ve reconsidered. Hindsight is 20/20, right?
Here’s the thing, though: all of these years later, I still have all of those little facts rattling around my brain, and while I won’t tell Lola this, Dolly is kind of an interesting character.
So, when I found out about her Imagination Library, I thought, “Oh great, now I really do like her. Lola is never going to let me live this down.” If you haven’t heard of it, the Dolly Parton Imagination Library is a program where you sign your sweet little bundle of joy up, and he/she gets a free book every month until he/she turns 5 years old. How freakin’ cool is that?!
I can’t believe I am going to say this {and Lola, if you are reading this, this is partly for you} but, Dolly, you are a class act. So, if you have little ones, pop over, sign them up for this fantastic and totally free program.

It’s official. All my vegetable seeds have been planted here on the east coast and now it’s time to start thinking about how I am going to mulch the beds. Back home in Washington, I don’t really need to mulch my beds because I’m outside puttering around the garden everyday with Lucy. If a weed pops up, I pull it… no biggie. With two large garden boxes and a patio full of containers my garden is extremely manageable.
