I own an antiquarian bookshop with my husband, Jon, named Munster & Company, coach my kids soccer team, am a Girl Scout Leader, a member of our schools PTA, on the Corvallis School District Budget Committee, and do bookkeeping and upholstery on the side.
From Jon:
Happy International Women's Day! Today we're working on a rather exceptional recent arrival that has brought our attention to the importance of women in science.

Jon is just finishing up working on a sammelband of ten 18th century publications including this piece that explores whether it is legal to...umm... assist in shuffling a tyrant off the old mortal coil, so to speak.
How festive.

Today's challenge in staycation entertainment while Jon was at work was to teach the kids, and Nana, Hobbs's rules dominos on my Grandparents' old set. Lots of great memories. Now it is Charlotte and Oliver's turn to skunk us.
