Holiday Saturday

We had a lovely day today...
So gorgeous to walk along a winter beach.  Feel the wind on your face and the sun on your back.  Fill the bellows, so to speak.  Top that off with wonderful family and generous slices of chocolate cake, coffee and chat.  Little children learning how to like fires which will in turn cook our lunch, the stuff of memory making.  Dog, small boy and tennis ball included!

Love the Library!



We found this very fun, great rhyming book at the library today.  Lots of fun to read with smallish people!  I love it when you go to the library and find that lots of new things have arrived.  We are library "junkies" in our house and have our family cards maxed out at the moment.  What a wonderful resource and so much to borrow, all for free.  Yea!
Another favourite author/illustrator couple in the same genre as Janet and Alan Alhberg (of The Jolly Postman fame) are Catherine and Laurence Arnholt.  They have a new book out this year We Love Bears, which is such a beautiful rhyming adventure for sharing with little friends.
