Old Pope County Library and its Lantana!

Our old Pope County Library opened in October 1937! It was built by the WPA (Works Progress Administration)  under President Franklin Roosevelt and now on National Register of Historic Places.  It’s called the Heritage Hall and is used for community group gatherings, local meetings, and special children's programs hosted by the Pope County Library System.  

I’m proud of our wonderful library and all who work for US there. I returned some books there yesterday and picked up three. One was about one of the first forensic scientists—Alan Moritz. Already finished it and I found it very interesting.Found a new book about George Washington. I’ve started it. It’s really too hot to crochet. 

It’s picture day for Ada. She insisted on wearing a dress. Clayton finishes his first week of college today.

Blu has a birthday. Astrid celebrates their big day with cake and party hats. Blu is my Phinnie’s pup. She’s special to me. I think it’s number 7 which is 49 in human years.

My poor Laura was attacked at school by a special student. He kicked her, pulled her hair and tried to strangle her with her lanyard that holds her id. All very scary. She went to the Dr. and is home resting her injured leg. What teachers endure would surprise many. Laura programs his speaking devise. She’s a speech therapist.  She has a button to push and she pushed it.
