Things to look forward to.....

I am so excited about this Saturday's event at the library. I am hoping for a great turnout and that the teens really enjoy this month's movie and breakfast. Additionally Cynthia and I have gotten together to plan a special family event for the holiday season called, Flocked and Frosted. We hope to see many of our families at the event to share delicious treats, fun crafts, and a great holiday flick. Feel free to call 444-5299 if you want any details about these two upcoming programs. Hope to see you there.

2nd Writer's Block Meeting

Well we just concluded our very successful second writer's block event. Six participants eagerly entered into discussions based on the book, Would you rather...?Over 200 Absolutely Absurd Dilemmas to Ponder, by David Gomberg. After some animated discussion over whether we wanted to live in the Star Trek universe or the world of Dr. Seuss? or rather spend the day with Shakespeare or Elvis? . . . we tried our hand at writing our own choices to share and debate. Here are some of the ones we came up with, Would you rather "have dreams where you are close to dying but never do or have dreams where you always wake up at the very best part?" OR "live in the land of Star Wars or the world of Harry Potter? OR "go swimming in warm grits or dance on hot coals barefoot?" OR "eat spaghetti at every meal for the rest of your life or eat a piece of paper every day?" OR "be stuck in remedial math class forever or have P.E. always be playing football?" As you can see the possibilities are endless and only limited by our imaginations and my edict that they be PG-rated.
