This weekend the Albuquerque Public Libraries kicked off their summer reading program with events at several local libraries.
This year Cherry Hills had a great event with a magician, juggler, and even some Stormtroopers!
This great program is open to all ages and runs from May 30th - July 25th. You can earn prizes for reading or for having someone read to you. You can even listen to audio books while driving around Albuquerque; the library has a great selection.
This year’s theme is "Catch the Reading Bug!" and carries over to the summer film festival at the library. For the younger ones, the “Summer Reading Bug Film Festival” includes classics such as "Charlotte’s Web" and newer movies like "Bee Movie". There’s also a series of “Classic 50’s Horror Films”.

MEMORIAL DAY
We walked among the crosses
Where our fallen soldiers lay.
And listened to the bugle
As TAPS began to play.
The Chaplin led a prayer
We stood with heads bowed low.
And I thought of fallen comrades
I had known so long ago.
They came from every city
Across this fertile land.
That we might live in freedom.
They lie here ‘neath the sand.
I felt a little guilty
My sacrifice was small.
I only lost a little time
But these men lost their all.
Now the services are over
For this Memorial Day.
To the names upon these crosses
I just want to say,
Thanks for what you’ve given
No one could ask for more.
May you rest with God in heaven
From now through evermore
By C W J (C W Johnson)- May 1975

We may have missed out on a 2007 White Christmas, but today Albuquerque kids woke up to a late-January Snow Day!
While the streets were passable, it certainly was slushy out there. Of course, this doesn’t come close to the snowstorm of 2006-2007 that rocked Albuquerque and set comparisons to storms of the 50’s. Still, I-40 shut down from 98th St. to the Arizona border last night and few drivers dared to fight the treacherous roads. So, I took several pictures last night to share with you all…
