What to do in the rain?


Ellie and I had the day to ourselves on Friday to make some fun while Bill was off to the office for the day - lots of his team was participating in an OT day.

So off we went to a new library.  We normally visit Sachse Library because that's our mailing address.  Yet, when I found out that Wylie Library is bigger and brighter, I knew it was just the cure for a rainy day!

We arrived early and got started.  Of course in the rain and so early there were few people around which allowed us to wander about freely.  What a great family spot.  A huge story time room that is framed by a huge tree.  Lots of activity and community rooms, and plenty of spots to just sit and flip through books.  And need I say, the kids' section is big and bright with these great walk up card catalogs!

Ellie is eagerly awaiting the new release of Dork Diaries.  I believe this is #11, or could be #12.  She's read them all.  It arrived on shelves this past Tuesday.  And I have promised her she'd have it in time for our flight to California.  Barnes and Nobel sent me a note on Tuesday that it was en route .. so it should arrive anyway.  And, no, there were no copies on the shelf either.  I guess she's not the only pre-teen eager to read the next in the series!
