Naughty or Nice
Over the weekend I opened up a very old picture frame to remove the photo and tucked between the cardboard behind the photo and the actual hard back of the frame was this old newspaper clipping from Dec 1964.
It's my first grade class! Can you believe it? I'm the one next to Santa and he is turned toward me as though I have done something naughty, LOL.

Largo Library
Went to the library today to return my books and get a couple more just in case I am left with time and no electricity - will need something to do. I can always read by flashlight or candlelight.
This library is fabulous! Has a huge genealogical department. It reminds me of the Loussac library in Anchroage which is the first library I ever saw with reading rooms, comfy furiture, etc.
I remember when I was a kid and spent summers with my Dad, the library in Osceola (where he lived) would not let me check out books because I wasn't a full-time resident. We had a "membership" at a local hotel with a swimming pool that happened to be across the street from the library. I would swim in the mornings then in the hottest part of day would read Nancy Drew books in the library before returning to swim later in the afternoon. I can still smell that library when I think about it. I would hide my book in the stacks to ensure that no one checked it out before I finished. Bad girl!
