Thank you, De Smet!

Here I am again, well into the new year.  It's freezing again today, with the high temperature somewhere around zero.  I even made meatloaf, hoping to warm our house and bellies.

I had a nice surprise in my inbox today -- an invitation from the De Smet Public Library to lead a book discussion group in April about Giants in the Earth, by O.E. Rolvaag.

Some of you may be surprised that I read books written for adults (and not just for kids).  Leading book discussions is a far cry from dressing up as baseball player Jackie Mitchell for author visits in the schools, but I love it.  

BTW, if you'd like me to lead a book discussion, shoot me an email or take a look at the South Dakota Humanities Council website.  www.sdhumanities.org/programs.htm
