This is currently my biggest problem. I do not have enough space for all of my books. My sister says I have too many books. I do not agree. When we moved a year and a half ago, I sold quite a few of my books. And I still don’t have enough shelf space. 🙁
The feast day of Our Lady of Lourdes was on February 11th. It happened to fall on a Wednesday this year which means it was a night we had religious ed. It also happens to be the last Wednesday before Lent this year. All of that led me to declare last Wednesday night a “Mary Party” for the fourth grade classroom.
The Friday 56 is a weekly meme hosted by Freda’s Voice.
