Hey Tomatoes, I’m not going to say what everyone else is saying – can you believe it’s been a year?  Oops, I just said it. A year of creative folk learning how to bring our favorite events to you digitally and a year of learning more about ourselves. Still an abundance of virtual events, but we found a few in-person places to spread your newfound wings like museums to wander. It’s Women’s History month, so we have a few online ideas for you including the fun and free 3T Women’s History event.  And if you love books, listen in to this week’s podcast.
