1) Link to the person that tagged you, and post the rules on your blog.
2) Share 7 facts about yourself.
3) Tag 7 random people at the end of your post, and include links to their blogs.
4) Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
Alright, lets get down to brass tacks …
#1. I have been told I could make a modest living as an Abe Lincoln impersonator. I wish I had a picture, but I don’t, so click here and kinda squint your eyes. That’s sort of what it looks like when I’ve got on the beard and stovepipe.
#2. I am an Elementary Library Media Specialist residing in the Great Lakes State.
#3. My all time favorite picture book is “The Wretched Stone” by Chris Van Allsburg. But it might also be “Arnie the Doughnut” by Laurie Keller
#4. I have hosted a radio show. WTHS 89.9.
#5. I once had an idea for a TV network. It was to be called the “How It’s Made” network. It was inspired by the following video clip from my youth (you might have seen it):

#6. My all time favorite chapter book is “Holes” by Louis Sachar. But it might also be “Donuthead” by Sue Stauffacher.
#7. Scope notes help to clarify the meaning of a term or instruct on its usage. 100 Scope Notes = a whole lot of clarifyin’.
I’m going to tag Literary Safari, A Year of Reading, Book Buds, Breeni Books, In the Pages, A Wrung Sponge, and Three Silly Chicks
