It was cold, it was far (for me), and I was tired… but I HAD to go to the first Silent Dinner of the year. It was great seeing my friends. I’ll keep you posted on next month’s Silent Dinner.
We had great turnout at the monthly Read With Me Sign With Me session at the library Saturday. Children (and adults) learned about animals and their behaviours. They had an opportunity to make a colorful, glittery craft.
