Dharma has a New Jacket!

Hello
  FRIEND'S OF DHARMA!

How do you like my new jacket?
I am looking like a doll
  don't you think?

I had a great time today.

WE GOT SNOW!!
I LOVE SNOW!!
RUNNING AROUND, ROLLING IN IT,
GETTING IT INTO EVERY INCH OF MY
DOGGIE HAIR.
IT'S GREAT I'LL TELL YA.

Here is the back yard.

The old dried rose
hanging out in the vase
watching the snow
falling soft
falling fast.
A memory of February
the rose sits quiet by
a sign a signal
it is love
sitting soft
a sigh.

Well, (a deep subject)
to celebrate my
new cover for my little book
Mama and Papa took me out to get
A BRAND NEW JACKET.

It has been a long time,
since  I got one.
My self and brother Stoney were young
when we got new Christmas outfits,
OH WHAT FUN!

I hope you like my new book jacket


Christyann over at Hollis Publishing did it for us.                  What a WONDERFUL JOB!
Thank you Christyann!!                Thank you to the many friends who helped  us out and reviewed my book!

First
A GREAT BIG THANK YOU TO OUR FRIEND LIZ
who offered to give us a review for our book.
Here we all are together.
THANK YOU AGAIN LIZ!
HELLO TO CHAPEK AND KAFKA!

 Then there is Lynn
from
Nellie's Treehouse Child Care Center
in Amherst N.H.
Mama and Papa had so much fun reading to
their little kiddies.
Hello "Little kiddies"
and thank you!
DHARMA HUGS!

Then we have JoAnn Kitchel.
JoAnn is the
Children's Director
at the
Mont Vernon Village Library.
She has helped
us to get my little book read at our
Mont Vernon Village School.
Everyone should drop by
the library
and see the beautiful trees that
JoAnn created and decorated!

They are beautiful!!

THANK YOU JOANN!

Finally,
Mama's very own
home town librarian
Nicole Irvine,
Children's Librarian
from the
Fitchburg Public Library.

Did you know that this Youth Library was the
first in the United States?

That before Fitchburg built this Youth Library
that

IN SOME LIBRARIES CHILDREN
WERE NOT EVEN
ALLOWED
IN THEM!

I mean,
HOW IS THAT EVEN RIGHT?

And so some forward thinking folks came together
and donated money
along with
the
CHILDREN OF FITCHBURG
from schools all over Fitchburg.

These children earned pennies.
OVER A MILLION OF THEM
and donated them to build THIS LIBRARY!
WOW.
HOW VERY COOL IS THAT.

That is over
$10,000 dollars donated
JUST BY LITTLE KIDS.
That would be worth over $100,000.00 today.

All that just
SO
CHILDREN,
I MEAN LITTLE KIDS,
CAN SIT AND
READ A BOOK!!

HOW WONDERFUL!

It was such
AN IMPORTANT EVENT
that the former first lady,
MRS. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT
CAME TO CHECK IN
ON HOW THINGS WERE GOING.
This is where
my dear Mama first came to
LOVE BOOKS!!

So
thank you
to
Nicole
for your
 review
of my book.

Thanks again
to everyone
who contributed.
I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE STORY!
Dharma Hugs!
