  5. Congrats on the new library, looks like everything is a hit. Nothing better in a child's growing up period than a good library. My DD used to send postcards to her favorite librarians when we were on vacation.

  11. The first thing I did before reading your post is look at your profile to see if you live in California... and you do! I live in Virginia but my daughter and I went on a dream vacation recently to see her best friend who had moved three years ago to Oakland CA. The picture on your main page could BE their front yard. I loved CA and all the trees and plants!

    Now to the post... I am so glad your community was able to get a library rebuilt!!!! I tried to take my kids to the library often when they were young... they would leave with armfuls of books!

I love comments and will attempt to reply to each one. However, lately I have been getting "Unknown" comments that are linked to some sort of web page. I will never open this sort of comment and will immediately mark as spam. I am not interested in opening something that could be detrimental to my blog security etc. Never have enjoyed hackers! Thanks!
