We are in the home stretch of summer and it has been BUSY, so we're a little bit behind with sitting down indoors and recording. However, we are celebrating the summer fun and planning for the warm weather we have left with some local guests (and one far-flung one). I sit down with Amanda Lee (AGAIN, I know -- but we have so much fun) to talk summer fruits and veggies and the bizarre slang terms Midwesterners come up with for them, when it's acceptable to use your crockpot, beach reads, and something called the Great Saunter (a real thing for which Amanda is currently training). Then we speak with Steve Bowers from The Library Network on the east side of the state. He told us all about the Michigan Activity Pass program (and I've been saving his interview since last October so we were all in a state park and traveling kind of mood). Finally, we compare notes with a handful of library moms about what their alternately exciting and relaxing summers have entailed so far. It's never been a better time to pour yourself some lemonade, settle in on the front porch and join us!
