It is so heartening to know that museums like yours are preserving the history of rural communities and "regular" people's lives. Not just kings and queens and presidents and railroad tycoons and folks like that. And exciting that some of the next generation is interested in continuing that. <br />I hope you can enjoy your last few weeks and not work so hard! It will all be there next spring.Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16035113274497372396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-23414852629741329732013-08-20T19:26:09.960-05:002013-08-20T19:26:09.960-05:00Yeah for Countdowns ~ then you can be Spontaneous!...Yeah for Countdowns ~ then you can be Spontaneous!

Hang in there:) <br />Amazing how the white makes the display pop. I remember when we were buying our closet system from IKEA. The sales person highly recommended that we buy the parts that were white on the inside.

Volunteer to help with the updating projects, volunteer to take on the Thursday noon program, show that you are proud of your community by getting involved with fund-raising, educating, and cleaning. You've got a good thing here with FarSide as your Director, but she cannot do it by herself.
