Mom told me that he’s been awarded with the 2008 YALSA Margaret A. Edwards Award for Lifetime […]

I posted my first blog entry. I knew the anniversary date was sometime around the first of May but didn’t bother to look until just now.

Farmers’ Market

Youngest daughter, Chrissie and I went on a horse-drawn buggy-ish ride at the Farmers’ Market.

Since cameras are not allowed during performances in the Civic Center, I did not get any photos. I did, however, find loads of photos and a screensaver to download of […]
