We live practically across the street from the library and love to stroll, walk or even drive there if I am feeling lazy. I bribe the girls to read books by renting the free (or 25 cents a day if you're late) movies there. They are all about borrowing some movies!! This summer we did the summer reading program which involved keeping track of all the books we read, including the serial number -a 25 digit long number on each book. They had awards day while Maury was at the lake so Lucy Helen got to get all the awards for her and Maury. She even ended up in the county newspaper! It was a long program but worth it for the free book, t-shirt(a very green adult size XL for Daddy), butterfly, free chicken leg from Popeye's and some other snazzy bug-themed prizes. The Rotary gave one scholastic book to all participants and LH was thrilled with her Diego adventure book! A former t-ball teammate's mother sent me the digital pic of Lucy Helen and her son Davis. I really want my girls to love reading! If chicken legs and bugs help, I am all for it!!! I just don't want anyone giving a dollar to the library fund because they want to build a new library some where else....I love my library right where it is!

There's an article about the library maybe moving in today's paper. I hope not! If it does I hope it stays downtown. I love that place! Cute picture. :)
I know you have heard this before -but Lucy Helen looks just like you...so cute! I am enjoying reading about your girls. They are precious! By the way, I used to love that library when I was a little girl too.
