Isabel said...: Wonderful display, as always.

Glad to know you are safe from the tornados.

I am trying to find out whether a fellow blogger from my haiku blog is ok. He lives in Van Buren, Ark.

It looks close to ground zero.; Thursday, February 07, 2008

Thank you. I hope your friend is okay, WW100. I'm biting my nails for you.; Thursday, February 07, 2008

maggie moran said...: I'm a goat, Paul! :P

That's great to hear, WW100. I thought of you last night b/c one of the Union students said it looked like a little Katrina. I doubt she saw Katrina's devastation except from TV-and by little she underestimates the damages of Katrina- but it does look like a concentrated war zone.; Friday, February 08, 2008

Sam said...: I work with a couple of people, one actually born in Viet Nam and another who is a first generation Vietnamese-American and enjoyed talking to them Thursday about their various family traditions centering on Chinese New Year...sounds like a wonderful time for the children with lots of extended family activities in the mix.; Sunday, February 10, 2008
maggie moran said...: How cool, Sam! I would love to see an actual parade with dragons and fireworks! :D; Monday, February 11, 2008
Bookfool said...: Well, I've succeeded at one of my two resolutions, thus far. The other one . . . hmm. Might need to start over, yes.

Those storms were a horror; so glad you're okay. Eldest lives in Memphis, now, and he watched a tornado form. He called frequently to give me play-by-plays. I was a little unsure why he wasn't cowering in the nice, thick refrigerator at the restaurant where he went with boss and co-workers to wait it out, but he claims he was "safe". Yes, safe while watching a tornado and a bunch of explosions. Lovely.; Tuesday, February 12, 2008
Yolanda said...: IS this display for the library? I love it.; Wednesday, February 13, 2008
maggie moran said...: Oh, I'm glad Eldest wasn't in harm's way Bookfool! It's amazing the things we do when young and fearless. Waterspouts at sea are enough to satisfy my curiosity. :)

Yolanda, this is one of our current displays. I'm working on Snow Better Time to Read this week. :); Wednesday, February 13, 2008
