Rain over Lake Oahe

So far Flickr has been more challenging than setting up an account in Google Reader. Another account, another password....

I noticed that Google now has Google Photos. Since I already have a Google account this may be an easier way to share photos.

I found this photo by searching for "Lake Oahe". Wonderful picture of rain over the big lake!

RSS

I found setting up my Google Reader account to be quite easy. Searching for and finding blogs has been easy - my only problem is limiting the number of blogs I'm interested in. I am kind of a news fiend, so having just one place to quickly scan my favorite news sites should be a timesaver! One library blog that I have found to be informative and quite amusing is the Swiss Army Librarian. Check out some of the unique reference questions he has encountered... http://www.swissarmylibrarian.net/

7 1/2 Habits of Highly Successful Lifelong Learners

I truly believe in being an active lifelong learner. My parents instilled that desire in me and I hope I have passed that on to my children. Everyday is a new learning experience, not always an enjoyable one, but that's life! Habit 3 (view problems as challenges) can sometimes be difficult for me. I have been known to make little problems into big ones... Habit 4 (have confidence in yourself as a competent, effective learner) is probably the easiest one for me simply because I enjoy learning anything new.

Creating my blog...finally!

I have finally started my blog! (After much prodding and a little hand-holding by two co-workers...) Selecting a name for my blog proved to be a little difficult for me and my brain is still a bit sluggish from all the activities surrounding my daughter's wedding. I decided on "Ms. Kitty" partly because I have always loved cats. Also, now that my daughters are growing up and moving away I will probably start turning into that "crazy neighborhood cat lady". I almost chose "Miss Kitty" since I did grow up in the Gunsmoke era, but Ms. Kitty sounds so much more sophisticated!

I thought I would share a picture of my daughter Kate and her husband, James. It was a wonderful day!
