Reorganizing...

Because the Chinese Empress book has so many holds on (as it is the October selection for Literary Kaleidoscope) we are going to shift our order.

Thomas King's book has the most copies and least number of holds in the library so it shall be the new September book, then everything will bump a month and we will do the Empress on for December.

Check the side bar for the new ordering...

JOY group visited Silver Springs Botanical Garden

We meandered around the many different gardens that are there and ended up among the colourful wooly thyme walking the path of the LABYRINTH. Monique made it to the center first, then Ann, Roberta, Jan and Donna followed. A gorgeous day...
