Hi Everyone!

Last week, I was THRILLED by a visit from my third grade teacher, Mrs. Pierce (left) and my Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Hartmann!

It was so great to see them again and spend some time together.

Of course, Lily Munster and Scooby-Boo demanded to go for a swim every day . . .

There are some really great dogs (and cats!) at the AuSable Valley Animal Shelter in Grayling, where we do some volunteer work. If you're looking for a new best friend, here are a few to think about. This is Simba . . .

. . . and Here's Ranger. Ranger is really sweet:

Frannie is a yellow labrador. She's every bit as kind and gentle as our Lily Munster:

Don't let's Gabe's funny look deceive you! He's great:

Here's Scooby, waiting for his new home . . .

. . . and this little cutie is Maui:

If you're interested in any of the dogs above, contact the AuSable Valley Animal Shelter in Grayling, Michigan: (989) 348-4117.

As you can see by the main page, it'll be a BUSY week. Hope to see you at one of the events!

Best wishes, happy reading, and . . . WRITE ON!
