It is amazing how being without power and water can slow your life down! Bill and I were out of electricity from Thursday afternoon until Tuesday morning...with one exception.
The power came back on Sunday afternoon at 6:15 ... just 15 minutes before the Pro Bowl started and stayed on until early Monday morning. Needless to say, Bill was delighted to see the game.
We fed a lot of birds during the ice and snow and the most unusual one was the rufous-sided towhee who would eat and scratch under the feeders. We spent a lot of time looking out the big window at the birds and deer and whiteness of the world.
We also listened to audio books at night when there was nothing to see outside.
We have several really good books for your listening pleasure here at the library in cassette format and CD format.
We have three new novels at the library this week.
They are “The First Rule” by Robert Crais, “Kisser” by Stuart Woods and “Relentless” by Dean Koontz.
We had to reschedule the Book Signing for John Burks. Last Saturday was just too bad for people to get out, so it was canceled.
Be sure and mark your calendars for Saturday, February 20 from 10 a.m. until noon and join us then.
Drop by and see us at your library. We love having you.

‘War Horse’ gallops away with enamored audience
There may be some confusion among the top critics none of us pay any mind to on what films deserve the highest accolades as award season progresses, but as far as I’m concerned, a certain equestrian title is making a pretty strong case itself.

‘Tintin’ may be unsinkable come award time
There’s something to the idea that animation movie makers may have better figured out the art of story telling and could certainly teach a majority of their peers in the live action arena how to weave a plot.

‘The Muppets’ welcome in sentimental return
While bias is a position I try to leave to the talking heads of television, every now and again I come across a film I anticipate so much it’s hard for it to disappoint.

‘Chipwrecked’ floats better than first sequel
When it comes to the three most recognized singing rodents this side of the milky way galaxy, one wouldn’t think the term gimmick would be anything more than description as usual.

As someone who has witnessed the best and worst video games have had to offer since ET almost killed consoles in the early years, I consider my range of terrible rankings to be rather flexible.
