I haven‘t been nearly as active on Litsy as I‘d like to be; from surprise gallbladder surgery in September, to two of the library‘s biggest events of the year within two weeks of each other, with jury duty in between, it‘s been a busy few months! But I‘m taking advantage of a day off today to look through this beautiful celebration of the incomparable First Lady Michelle Obama. God, what a queen. #michelleobama #theobamayears #amandalucidon

dabbe Glad you're back and feeling better! 🖤🧡🖤 6d
kspenmoll Sounds beyond busy! Welcome back! 6d
