today i made a trade-off with my brother: if we could go to the
7th Annual Summer Reading Extravaganza! at the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, I would toss frisbee with him and his friends in the park.
what a great trade-off! we had a win-win situation.
when we got to the lawn in front of CLP for...drumroll please...
7th Annual Summer Reading Extravaganza!, there were white tents up, books spilling off tables,
Guitar Hero bouncing off a TV, X-Box 360 being played on two screens out of the back of a tricked out SUV, library logo t-shirts being "de-constructed," balloons, hot dogs, Eat 'n' Park Smiley whale cookies, children and big huge dogs everywhere! we were in heaven.
we thought the
7th Annual Summer Reading Extravaganza! would only be for the kiddies, just like when we were little and trekked the long, hot, (mildly unsafe) mile to the Murrysville Community Library for our summer reading program...read so many books, get a prize or a coupon for a Happy Meal at McD's. you remember.
but, to our great delight!! there's an
adult summer reading program too! we had peaked on Cloud Nine...we both scrambled to sign up, feeling so proud to have found this treasure of our summers again...books...with a heavy dose of pure nostalgia.
ah, lazy summer days playing outside and reading to our hearts' content. life is full to the brim. thank you, Jesus.
would anyone like to read with me?
