Five Things on a Friday

1. Tomorrow I'll be at the Peabody Library in Jonesport, Maine.  I'm reading Hot Rod Hamster and then kids can go onto "Bess the Book Bus" and choose a new book for free.  Isn't that a wonderful program? 

2.  I haven't even left home yet, and I already feel welcomed.  Thank you to librarian Heidi Hinkley and her daughter, Kylie, for this great sign!

3.  Jonesport is about 5 hours downeast from me, so I'm spending tonight at a historic hotel outside of Bangor. The hotel is an old mountain inn on the National Register of Historic Places.  I thought it would be fun and good for the novel I'm working on now for me to stay there.

But when I Googled the hotel last night to get directions, the first link that popped up was. . . .Haunted Hotels of Maine.  Well, that's just great. I think I'm signing up for Heidi and I get The Shining.  :-) 

4.  My daughter is in Chicago with two of her friends.  I'm excited for her to be off having a cool adventure, but as her mom, I was relieved to read her text message last night that read, "Safe and sound. Goodnight."

5.  I'm very pleased with the four finalists in "So You Think You Can Dance?"  It's a going to be a great finale!
