I may have mentioned seven skerjillion times or so here at 7-Imp that I like sun images. Here’s my favorite stamp. I really own … let’s see … one stamp. Yup. That one. Because a sun stamp is all a person really needs. My daughters’ burgeoning collection of dinosaur stamps disagrees with me. RAAOOOORRR! they tell me and threaten to stampede, but I still say a sun is better any day. <\/p>\n
Another reason I’m posting a lovely sun today is to inform 7-Imp readers that I’m taking several days off to go soak in some sun rays of my own. (I’m embarking on what I like to call my “redneck staycation,” but I won’t bore you with details.) Part of my goal, though it is<\/em> a local staycation of sorts, is to stay away from work email and blog email and typing and Facetwitter and this, that, and the other. Think I can do it? I think so. But wish me luck anyway (because I really just like talking to many of you who live far away). <\/p>\n I’ve got some fun and talented visitors to 7-Imp waiting in the cyber-wings. And I’ll be back on Friday. See you then. <\/p>\n In the meantime, check out the winners<\/a><\/strong> of the 2011 Boston Globe-Horn Book Awards! (Seven cheers for ANNA HIBISCUS, which I’m yelling in excitement!) Such good choices, and I’m particularly<\/em> happy to see Salley Mavor win for Picture Book! (Here’s<\/a><\/strong> my December 2010 interview with her for fellow fans to read and enjoy.)<\/p>\n Have a sunny, most excellent week, all. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I may have mentioned seven skerjillion times or so here at 7-Imp that I like sun images.
