Today, Grandma Library made cherry cheesecake for the kids and spoiled them a little. Rainier Cherries are the best. We also had Aplets and Cotlets from Liberty Orchards.
The SUN was wonderful. We also had a little flooding in the Tipi and so Frost Property Management, Dump Junk , Hobie and Matt from Triple M cleared our snow.
The kids climbed the newly built snow hills, pretending it was Mt. Rainier. Mt. Rainier is 14,410 feet high. Miss Sherry told the students about Dan Noakes from Dump Junk, a local film maker, who has several Youtube videos about Mt. Rainier.

Recommend book
The twilight series was based in Washington. I personally enjoy the books. The Donnelly library has the whole series if you want to come in and check them out.
Miss Sherry loves a good vampire book. Twilight was an awesome series that defined an era.
Here are some shots from Miss Sherry’s tour of Forks.
