I spent most days at our public library last week helping take in donations, assembling Christmas trees, decorating the meeting room, and more for Light Up the Library, our Friends of the Library's big fund raiser. The library looks gorgeous now, and this afternoon we'll have a grand opening program with music by "Donna Thunder" and her band. She stopped in on Saturday to plan her grand entry with The Little Drummer Boy. Should be quite an experience! Here are a few pictures of the library.
The local figure skating club girls are always so excited (and so cute!) to be decorating their tree. This year's theme is "Skating on the Canals in Holland," and all the ornaments are blue and white.

Hope to get back to it this week before my brother Rob and his wife Linda come for the weekend. These are busy times!
