Now that I'm Scout leader I have solar powered camping lanterns.

I have a few lanterns but all battery operated.

Lily's snow reading.

Oh that's awesome! I have never heard of such a book for kids. Where in the world did you find that??

I'm always looking and it came up on a "other users bought this" when I bought a Saints for kids book on Amazon. So I researched it and bought it. It's really good.

We also have:

I've got an adult book on Eucharistic miracles but never heard of one for kids. That is really very cool. I'm used to seeing it on the Protestant side of things but not much for kids on the Catholic side except for educational books on the Faith. I do have a Catholic children's book on Pope Benedict and his love for cats but have not seen much more than that.

There is a good bit but you have dig.

An example from the first book:

Our Library has a huge children's library. Being a college library it has so much. And there are a lot of Catholic children's picture books and such.

I'd love to have that variety to choose from. I think I'd have to drive to the Notre Dame Library to find it though. It's unfortunate it not more readily available for most of us.

I know. For 19 years now I will admit I am horribly spoiled

We also can use our interlibrary loan to get books from anywhere in the world.

One of our professors famously told his students... You will never know what kind of library you had here until you miss it.

And although I'm biased we do place in the top ranks of University libraries every year.

We are currently seventh in all research libraries in North America and 2nd in research libraries at public universities.

I understand. I'm just glad it is available. But trying to find Catholic reading, children or adult is difficult. I'm not kidding when I say I'd have to do a two hour drive to South Bend to have a decent selection.

Well it's 12:10 am here. Still no snow or ice. Last I heard it is supposed to start at 4am and be a 24 hour snow/wintery mix. Please pray that there are no power outages. When it happens with us, nothing works. Everything depends on electricity. Can't even flush the toliet! Thanks!

Good luck folk - stay safe

Prayers for you all

Boy it's coming down now! Gusty winds right out of the north. We are supposed to get gusts up to 45mph.

It's edging toward us too. Everyone be safe and comfy.

That's the plan. It's supposed to be a 24 hour snow and wintery mix. I just worry about the power!
