We had a surprise visit from Rainbow the Clown (Millee Wrenn) 
Thursday! Millee is my friend from Tunica whom happens to be the Children's Librarian at Olive Branch Library.
For the last week of school, the daycare children visit their parents/grans place of employment. We were treated with co-worker's darling sunshine and 8 of her peers. This one visit reminded me how much fun providing storytime can be. Do you think they will come for a monthly visit?
These children are treated like kings/queens with umpteen servants. Before they reach kindergarden, they know numbers, colors, animals, shapes, etc. all thanks to the excellent Children's Daycare Program. I think, but I' pretty sure, there are 60 students for the 9 kids. Oh, if we could just provides this for all our Mississippi children.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?
I couldn't believe when I read the words Olive Branch. When we lived in Memphis, we took our kitties to the coolest vet's office ever...located, yep, you guessed it, in Olive Branch, MS.
It looks like a wonderful preschool. Do you know where I can get a pair of sunglasses like those?
Debi, you wouldn't recognize OB now! We have malls!
Sage, I googled jumbo sunglasses. This site had a reasonable price... http://www.fakecrap.com/products/jumbo_glasses.html
How cute! I loved playing with those parachute things when I was young.
By the way, I have a couple questions for you regarding your challenge:
- is nonfiction allowed?
- is West Virginia considered part of the South or no?
Thanks!
Lesley, non-fiction is great! I was just thinking of doing a post on all the great memoirs, such as All Over but the Shoutin', Coming of Age in Mississippi, and Mississippi Sissy.
I think WV is fine b/c it contains a big chunk of the Appalacians. Wonder if WVirginians consider themselves southern?
Clowns have always made me nervous for some reason, but the lady on the right in the pic makes me smile. :)
that looks like so much fun :)
Oh, good! All Over But the Shoutin' was one of the books I wanted to read for the challenge. :)
I had a friend from WV and she said they did not consider themselves Southern, more Appalachian if anything. But she sure did have a Southern accent, at least to my Northern ears!
Paul, you're sweet!
TxMom, I hope they had fun. You never know what they remember at this young age. The room was total silence when I opened the door and Rainbow walked in. I was really worried w/ the crickets chirpin' then one kid piped up and asked if she was a clown. Pshew! :)
Great, Leslie, looks like you are all set.
Ok, I have my standards and refuse to buy anything for a place called "fakecrap" lol
Just sounds like it won't arrive in one piece, right Sage!
