THE WEEKEND

It's been quite a good weekend this week.  I was not looking forward to working on Saturday, but it actually turned out to be a lot of fun.  I enjoyed seeing some of the people I used to work with, getting caught up with them and others that weren't there.  I liked having an easier day.  I had forgotten that it wasn't as stressful with more people to help you out.  I really did enjoy my 8 years working there.

As you can see, it's much larger than the Richmond Library where I usually work.  There are four floors and six departments in the building.

This is the view from the balcony on the top floor.  On the bottom is the Humanities Department, the middle section is Magazines and Newspapers, on the top is Social Sciences and Technology.

This is the Children's Department which is on the lower level.

They had a Summer Reading Program kickoff party on Saturday.  It was a Mad Hatter Tea Party and the Children's Librarian read them part of Alice in Wonderland as they sipped on iced tea and ate little sandwiches and cupcakes.  How nice!






I was on the front desk at noon time and the first people I waited on were three of my regular customers from Richmond.  We greeted each other and they said they didn't expect to see me at Northeast.  I laughed and told them I was everywhere and they couldn't escape.  They were concerned that I might have been transferred, but I told them it was just for the day and I would see them at Richmond on Monday.  That just started my day off right.

Sunday was such a beautiful day.  But another hot one.

I had bought all these blueberries on Friday so decided to make lemon blueberry bread for our church's Coffee Hour.

Everyone loved it.  I had two pieces left which I brought home to Joe who didn't go to church this morning.

I took some pictures of the people before the service started to show Joe who was there.  He misses it if he can't get there.

And I took a short video of the Praise Band for him which I'll share with you also.

Of course being as it was Flag Day I decorated the front of the house before I left this morning.

I had plans to do so much today, but I was in so much pain that I took some medicine and it put me right out.  I slept the day away.  Oh well, I guess I needed it.

So now it's back to work today.  I wonder how things will be since it is the first day of our Summer Reading Program.  I hope all goes well.

I'd better finish the dishes and wash and get some sleep.  Until later...
