I worked with LetterPop and gained a real appreciation for our Graphic Arts Dept's ability to produce stunning issues of It's Happening. I played around with my newsletter changing fonts, sizes, and experimenting with text. There are a lot of neat templates to use. I chose one for the fall season. I could see using this on a personal level--creating those holiday letters to family and friends. Here at the Library, we have our experts on staff. I had a difficult time posting the links; there are times when I can't get things to work from a computer at YPL. I had to do this exercise at home.

Big Brown Wins the Preakness
I am still sad over the loss of Eight Belles at the Kentucky Derby while I delighted in Big Brown's decisive win. After I watched the Florida Derby in early spring, I knew Big Brown would be a contender for the Triple Crown. His looks remind me of Barbaro. Well he did it again folks at the Preakness. I would love to see him win the Triple Crown. He's an awesome horse.

This is one of my favorite tributes to the beloved Barbaro, forever in my heart:
Secretariat's Belmont Race
Many horseracing fans hoped that Barbaro would win the Triple Crown and he was often compared to Secretariat, known fondly as Big Red. Secretariat's Belmont record still stands. If you love horses and have time to watch this, it's worth it. I am lucky enough to have witnessed this Triple Crown victory. I was a race fan even back then:
