We attempted a unique craft idea and found diamond art to be highly rewarding and enjoyable. How lovely are these pieces! We look forward to creating many more.

Our book club was fully attended today!
The House of Eve, this month's book, has been praised as "A triumph of historical fiction" by The Washington Post, and is both an instant New York Times bestseller and a Reese's Book Club pick. The novel, set in 1950s Philadelphia and Washington, DC, examines the essence of being a woman and a mother, as well as the sacrifices required to achieve one's greatest aspiration. Another outstanding read, scoring 3.5/4 stars!

National Promposal Day last week was a fantastic way to reminisce on the past and relive cherished memories. How delightful to hear all the stories and see how dresses have evolved over the years, from traditional and elegant to modern and trendy. Thank you Janet for bringing her beautiful dresses in from her proms, it was truly a treat to see them. 🩷🪩🌺

Our Candy Land social was such a fun time! We traveled through peppermint forest through gum drop passage to hopfully pass lord licorice and get to Gramma Nutts house for a quick stop! Then off we went through Lollipop woods, Snow Flake Lake, and Molasses Swamp to King Kandy at the Candy Castle!

Did you know Candy Land was invented in 1948 by Eleanor Abbott, a school teacher who was home recovering from polio, to entertain children in the hosipital. However, the game now has many different varieties of characters and even the game board!

I want to thank the Freeport Public Library - Freeport, IL for your generosity and kindness for letting us use these wonderfully crafted props! They brought the whole event to life! 🍬
