We're gonna be famous!
I hustled the kids out the door around 11 this morning, hoping to get a library visit in before the snow/sleet/freezing rain began. As soon as I parked I remembered that thursday is a 12-8 day. Our branch, Hamilton, is open either 12-8 or 10-5:30, Monday through Thursday. If I were in charge, libraries would be open from about 8a to midnight. Each branch would have a water fountain, a cloakroom, and comfy reading chairs. We have none of these at Hamilton. Not even a water fountain! When the kids are older I might set up a Friends of the Library group for Hamilton.
Anyway, since the library wasn't open yet, I took the kids across the street to
Edelweiss Bakery for an early lunch. A reporter from the Sun (no link, because I'm mad at the non-local owners!) snapped a few of the kids gawking at the gingerbread houses, ad a few of them eating lunch. I'd ordered their signature sauerbraten (sour beef and dumplings served with red cabbage) and the reporter asked if she could take a few pictures of my plate before I ate. If they run the story with that picture, Sun readers all over B'more will see the plate of sauerbraten that I enjoyed just moments after the picture was taken. It was delicious! At the library I picked up Marilynne Robison's 'Gilead' a book about stroke, and a pile of picture books for the kids. By now the snow was sticking to the sidewalk, but the roads were fine, so we felt quite jolly on the way home.
