We noticed that our Summer Read-a-thon Kickoff was held during National Library Week! We went to Hunter Library and enjoyed the many things planned to help us familiarize ourselves with what the county library system offers. We hope we have as much fun reading this year and increase our ability and love of reading even more! Calendars are available to help record your reading. Involve your families and extended families. Also, our invitation is always open to book lovers to join in our monthly book review held the last Tuesday of each month.
Our next Relief Society activity will be held on Tuesday, May 11 at 6:30 pm. You will be intrigued with information to help us s-t-r-e-t-c-h our dollars. You will learn tips and strategies for savvy shoppers and how to get the biggest ‘bang’ for your bucks. Come share your tips with us as well.
Our Relief Society temple trip will be on Tuesday, May 18. Sign up for celestial blessings.

I am moving s--l--o--w this day as I am reminded of how not so young I am anymore. Oh! Then there is this rebellion going on in my ligaments and tendons as they taunt me with reminders that I was not able to shovel enough snow to keep myself even remotely in shape. I have been preparing for "May Flowers" and other such plant growth, enviably eyeing my Barcalounger as I passed it each time I realized I needed some tool or another that hasn't made it outside yet. In my mind's eye, I had me kicking back with nice cold refreshment by my side, a good book in hand, and the sounds of spring echoing softly in the background. Then . . . it all comes crashing back to reality when you feel that little twitch in your back that reminds you you're up to your knees in that mountain of turkey doo-doo and mulch that NEVER seems to grow smaller no matter how many loads you have hauled away from it!
When day is done and you are a Biblioholic, you realize how grateful you are to have good books, good friends and an evening out to look forward to. You certainly don't have to "persuade" me otherwise, and we definitely got our boost when we were schooled on the power of persuasion and its effects by the masterful delivery Pam Magnuson gave of the March book pick, Persuasion by Jane Austen. Thank you, Pam, for a most pleasant and interesting evening!
We so enjoyed our stay in England, we have decided to go back and take in a little more of the culture. We will take a stroll through Victorian England with the well-known novelist, Charles Dickens. May will bring us The Pickwick Papers, a real work of literature that is brilliantly written and touts itself as Dickens's first novel.
It is a funny, warm-hearted and enchanting tale of Samuel Pickwick and his fellow Pickwick Club members. Now, right off the bat, we can relate to the Club! Huh???!!!! We will encounter the joys and troubles of travel, and beware of the unscrupulous people, and what's this.... a prison stay??!!! It may be a world now long lost, but to be sure, we may learn a few things about how to cherish the good and simple things.
Our travel guide for this tour will be Merrily Thorne. She will handily keep our fellowship together through all kinds of scrapes and adventures. Save up your shillings and board the ship . . . we're headin' for a visit with the Brits!
