I was ready to get up right away when I woke up at 7:10am.  First thing I asked for was candy.  Mimz said that was not going to happen and I refused breakfast.  I watched a little TV and was agreeable to getting dressed because I wanted to ride my scooter before school.   We did go out to ride but not for long because it was chilly.  I decided I was hungry after all and had a bowl of cereal.  That made us a little late for school but at least I didn't go to school on an empty stomach.

I asked Mimz who would pick me up.  She said she would.  I said, "Is Barbara never coming back?"  Mimz explained where she was and that she was coming back.  I was okay with that.

After work Mommy came to get me so she could play with me. 

 This picture shows Great Grandpa John at his desk in the Genealogy library in Bella Vista, AR.

 Behind him are the movable stacks.

He was helping his last customer find her family records  (the Watson family.

 Today was his going away party at the library.  Before the party began Great Grandpa showed Great Grandma and Barbara all around the library and showed them all the jobs he did.  They stopped to talk to the employees.

This picture was taken when people were first arriving at the party.
The party was for Friends of the Library (the volunteers) and there were 21 people there.  They had sandwiches and drinks.  Several people gave him cards and one couple gave him a DVD of old John Wayne movies.  They all told Great Grandma and Barbara how much they enjoyed knowing Great Grandpa.
