WHAT’S NEW IN SPRINGFIELD, NE
December 31, 2008
Well it seems as though everyone has a “Top Five or Top Ten” these days. So here goes…
These are my Top Five things to do in 2009:
1. Read more books (I’m the librarian who needs to read more!)
2. Forget my birthday. I’m too old anyway.
3. Teach my dog some new tricks – Hubby says “NO BARKING” would be a good one!
4. Organize – Do I say that every year? (yes!!!!)
5. Produce a better garden- I’m dreaming (It’s 18 degrees right now, not 118!)
What is your Top Five? Send me a list. I’d love to post it.
If the kids are already bored and need more exercise send them to the Springfield Memorial Library after school on Tuesdays from 3:30 – 4:30pm in January for “Get Fit & Read”. Miss Connie will lead the kids through an Exercise Video. Afterwards, a healthy snack will be served with time for reading.
January 24 is the date set for Soaring Wings Vineyards “Meet Your Winemaker” dinner. A fabulous five course meal prepared by Chef Paul Pleskach with wines produced by Soaring Wings vineyard will complement each course. Seating is limited, so be sure to book your reservation. The cost is $65 per person.
Wahoo! We are glad all that ice is gone!
