  • The Little Red Hen
    The Little Red Hen
    Hooray for a good work ethic! The little red hen asks but receives no help in her efforts to put bread on the table. Yet all who wouldn't help would like to eat. In a refreshingly old-fashioned triumph of moral consequences, they don't get to!
  • Noisy Nora
    Noisy Nora
    Poor Nora! The loveable mousette experiences all the pangs of the child-in-the- middle, caught between the demands of baby brother and bossiness of big sister. Catchy meter, playful illustrations make for a wonderfully satisfying mouse's tale. Baby-Preschool
  • A Chair for My Mother
    A Chair for My Mother
    A remarkably beautiful story told by a young girl whose mother is a waitress. Since they lost all their furniture in a fire, they've been saving mother’s tips in a jar – so they can buy a big comfortable chair for their whole family to enjoy – daughter, mother and grandmother. Life has its ups and downs, but there’s always lots of love. Ages 4-7

Youth Orchestra event for kids today at Ida Lee 3:00

IMG_6567.JPGIf you can be spontaneous, you might want to gather up your kids our International Youth Orchestra in full rehearsal this afternoon

I've taken my children before (snapped a few photos) and it is a wonderful event where children can see all the instruments up close and personal, ask questions and even play some of the instruments (drums, bells, etc.)

Dear Friends,

We invite you and your students to attend the International Youth Orchestra ASP 2009's Open Rehearsal. Come share some music with 120 international young musicians from many countries, including Venezuela, Peru, Mexico, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, USA and more!

Suggested Donation: $5.

IDA LEE PARK (Lower Level)
60 Ida Lee Dr.
Leesburg, VA 20147

An awesome event for ALL AGES!

See you at 3:00pm!

Love,

Boy, does this take me back. I was living in Leesburg when Ida Lee Park was being built. Your blog often literally takes me back home.

Sorry can't make the concert....I only live on the other side of the continent and in another country....the drive would be a bit tedious :o)

Thanks for the walk down memory lane though.

And I was wondering if Hattie used to be a Ketterman? She certainly looks like one.

[Yes, Hattie was a Ketterman - third of six girls]
