Dream Weaver - Gary Wright Lyrics with an October quote

One of my favorite songs....for over 40 years now.


Also........a favorite October quote:

“There is something in October sets the gypsy blood astir: We must rise and follow her.   When from every hill of flame She calls, and calls each vagabond by name.”

Author Events at Columbia County Library in Evans, GA

Some of you wanted to know about Garth Stein.  He visited our library recently.  One of our favorite books is The Art of Racing in the Rain.  We chatted with him after the talk.  Just to let everyone know:  Enzo's dad is a very nice person!

Ann Perry's talk was very interesting and it was a pleasure meeting her.   It was great to meet both of these authors.   So glad we could have them come here.

A Trip to Tennessee and The Great Smoky Mountains UPDATE

Update Dec 2016:  Sadly we have learned that a great deal of this area has been destroyed by the recent wildfires.

Here are a few of the colorful ones:
