Library Volunteer Recognition Program

Wednesday was the library's ice cream party for they junior and teen volunteers. Except this year it was a pizza party. We even saw a familiar face (the picture didn't take well, even though I had my flash out...oh, well).

Eudora! Again!

How I do love those girls!

We were thankful this year that Chloe was not sick. She missed her first party last year, so her actually being there this year was good. And to add to it, both Jesse and Chloe were recognized for their hours.

I know the girls are still loving helping at the library. I also know the librarians love having them. The same night I was leaving Book Club and one of the librarians asked when the girls were coming back. They are anxiously awaiting their return. I know Ms. Pam misses them because she tells them every week. lol

This is also the only time, every year, we get to see Ms. Paula. Ms. Paula was at our library when we moved to Columbia. She is the one who noticed when Jesse was learning to read. She asked me after story time one day if Jesse could read. I told her she was learning. Ms. Paula told me Jesse was mouthing the words silently as Ms. Paula was reading. We LOVE Ms. Paula! And miss her too!

Ms. Paula couldn't believe how much they have both grown!

That was the highlight of our week. The rest of the week has been quiet. John was off Friday, so we ventured out into town to get a few things we needed. This morning (Saturday), John took the girls fishing. I slept since I didn't sleep last night. This afternoon I am meeting a friend for ice cream.

And that is all. Our life in a nutshell. Highs and lows are a constant. But I think that goes for everyone.
