Goodbye Calendar Girl

May 27, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner

 

goodbye Miss May

via MorgueFile

 

May is almost over. It was an exciting month for me because (in case you somehow missed it) I was “Blogger of the Month” at Arkansas Women Bloggers. As Calendar Girl, I was given free rein and my topics ranged from that 64-pack of crayons we all remember from childhood to the decline of rural America.

Yes, a random peep into how my brain works.

My last feature post as Miss May went live yesterday. I hope you’ll check it out. I’m talking about trending topics like #WhatJayZSaidToSolange. Sort of.

If you missed any of my Miss May posts, I’ve listed each below for easy access.

  • Miss May Intro  (May 1)
  • Growing Your Garden  (May 5)
  • Taking Back my Crayons  (May 12)
  • I Am Small Town Arkansas  (May 19)
  • Trending with Grace Grits and Gardening  (May 26)

If you’ve been following along, thank you, thank you very much. Miss May has left the building.

    Talya, I so enjoy reading all your blogs.. I still have a box of 64 count crayons that belonged to my granddaughter..( Stephanie Gonzalez ) she is 26 now..I can’t remember exactly when she got them, I’de guess there at least 20 yrs. old.. And yes they still smell the same…..
