TECH TIP:  Voice Typing in Google Docs

 This is a great new feature of Google Docs - you can now just talk and your words get typed automatically!  From the Tools menu, select Voice Typing, hit the microphone and go.  Here is a quick video tutorial of me using it.  So cool!

BOOK TIP:  The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton

This was my favorite book of the summer.  A story of winged girl.   Magical realism at its best, because it really isn't about the wings at all, it is about an unusual, quirky family and how they try to fit in to "norma"l society over several generations.  Glorious writing, pulls you right in.  To me, it was reminiscent of Jeffrey Eugenides Middlesex.
