Pack up the gear and hop on board with author Betty Marchon!
Wednesday September 10, 2008
at 7:00 p.m.
We are
pleased to welcome Betty Marchon, author of "In Grandmother's House We Go: Cross Country Motor Home Adventures." The book chronicles the adventures of the author when, after the loss of her spouse, she takes up traveling in her motor home with her grandchildren.
We follow the family as they travel the Oregon Trail, trails of Wisconsin and Minnesota, and finally, the Lewis and Clark Trail and, even though the trails turn into trials as the trips commence, Betty never loses her "I can do it attitude."

Have You Tried Bananagrams?
As an educator, I love Bananagrams. I teach in a variety of settings from traditional classrooms to home bound instruction. I love the flexibility of Bananagrams. You can use it with one student or a large group.
Games fit the amount of time you have available - long or short. And the fact that it is packaged in a fabric banana with a zipper brings out a smile in even the most reluctant student.
Parents purchase this game to play with family, and its small size makes it perfect for traveling or keeping the family entertained when waiting in restaurants.
The inventor of Bananagrams gets and A+ from this teacher! - endorsement by Holly.

What a perfect start to September! I spent Sunday and Monday in Nantucket. Those of you who know me may be wondering, how did she do that? Not literally, of course, well even that depends on your definition of literally. The answer, I curled up for two delicious days with “The Beach House” by Jane Green.
