Children's Book Awards

Every year the Arkansas Reading Association hosts the Arkansas Children's book awards for the Charlie May Simon and Arkansas Diamond Book Award Winners. This year some of my favorite authors were there. Janet Stevens won the Diamond Book Honor Award for her book Little Red Pen and Andrew Clemetns won the Charlie May Simon Honor Award for Trouble Maker. I bought both of them and had them signed.

Debbie Diller is my most loved professional text author. She has written wonderful books on small group instruction as well as how to set up literacy work stations. I didn't have a book for her to sign because I already own all of them, but I still told her how wonderful she was and asked for a picture.

Friday afternoon was dreary and rainy. Some pictures of the  Arkansas River I took while waiting for a session.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

Dogwoods

Sunday I inventoried our Dogwood Trees. We have 24 total. Some are just small bushes. There are probably about 12 big trees. I marked them so that when we are clearing brush later we won't kill them. My hope is to clear out some around them so they can all grow into large trees. They are absolutely beautiful to look at!!! I want to get some more pictures, but I got Poison Ivy on my legs the other day so I'm staying out of the woods for now.
