Saturday's Adventures

 What a day! I began my day with the Anne Frank Exhibit at the library. I was really pleased to see how many people attended. There was  about 12 panels with a time line of Anne Frank and her family's story which was "juxtaposed against world events before, during and after the rise to power of Hitler and the Nazi Party." As a teen I  read Anne Frank's diary, Anne Frank remembered by Miep Gies, Night by Ellie Wiesel and I watched Schindler's List. It always amazed me how any one could survive such atrocities and survive. I think it is a real testament to the human race. That is, it is a testament to our deranged cruelty and  immense desire, ability and determination to live. I think it is healthy every once in a while remind our self what we as a race have done to each other and hopefully prohibit any thing like that from ever happening again.

 On a lighter note, the Live Green festival was outside on  Library square. What a wonderful idea! Local people(at least I think they were all local) selling green items. The lack of money, my money, is always a problem at events like this. I always want to buy every thing and I love supporting locals! Please check it out next year.This is the link for the Live Green event

 After the Live green event I was off to the Beehive Bazaar.This is a craft exhibit were locals can sell there goods. Money yet again was a problem. Every where I turned there was yet another wonderful, adorable and creative thing. I ended up buying a few items which I will hopefully take photos of soon and attach the links. That way, if you are interested, you can visit their websites as well. I really hope I can  join the Bazaar next spring.  It seemed like a great place that received a pretty good crowd.

  1. The timing of the two events is probably unintentional, but still ironic. Outside, a celebration of hope and renewal, while inside a celebration of the strength of human spirit in the face of hatred and despotism.
