Cute kids bring in holiday season

Susan had 16 of the cutest kids at storytime this past week!

They colored foam pumpkins, read books about pumpkins and Halloween and each child got his or her own little pumpkin.

The next storytime is at 10 a.m. Nov. 18 and will be about Thanksgiving.

Remember, next Tuesday, Oct. 27 is the last day to turn in the coloring sheets for the Halloween coloring contest.

The library was recently given two copies of “O Is For Oil” by Susan Jacobs. This is the third book in the series done for children by the Oklahoma Energy Resource Board. These are such good books and explain about petroleum.

We were also given “Mountain Splendor” by W. Phillip Keller, “American Greats” by Robert A. Wilson and “Ansel Adams: Landscapes of the American West” by Lauris Morgan-Griffiths.

I finally took all my hummingbird feeders down after not seeing any birds for a couple of weeks. My sister, who lives out of Madill, still has some hummers daily so she still has hers up.

Aren’t the trees turning the most beautiful colors this year! I guess all the rain we have had helps them. I know some years we are so dry the leaves die before they turn, but not this year. Take time to drive around town and see them.

  • ‘Flapjacks & Sasquatches’ one timber away from genius

    If there is anyone in this world that is still holding out for a game that honors both the rugged tradition of tree chopping macho men and an urban legend almost as hairy as they are, your prayers have  been answered. If you haven’t been praying for this miracle in fun time, you are either not from the wooded lands up north or you just haven’t imagined yet.

  • “Despicable Me” makes evil a family activity

    With all the things that are good in life, we often will condemn or ignore something that is even the slightest bit fiendish. Sure, the agonizing 24-hour networks seem to thrive on bad information, but rarely do we acknowledge that inside all of us is a small desire to be mischievous.

  • “Bioshock 2” proves story driven games can still thrive

    If I had to peg one reason why my enthusiasm for first person shooting games faded out years ago it would most likely be the lack of a gripping story. In fact, video games on the console drove me to not to play anything other than PC games for the same reason after the retirement of the Super Nintendo with no revival until the first Xbox variant.
