Sunny and 37 in Fort Collins, Colorado this morning – don’t tell Uncle Phil!
Sad excuse for a photo, but I’m in a rush – dance party tonight! In case you are not familiar, this is my friend Phyllis who visited us last year on her World Tour. 
These are her fabulous books, written by Susanna Leonard Hill and illustrated by Jeffrey Ebbeler – visit Susanna’s blog for more fun today!

The dancing was fun, not washing the floor of the community hall I rented after it was all over – beats having to get up and do it in the morning though!
