Here’s some proof.  These are some shots I took today of my shared day at Thomas Dale High School and Meadowbrook High School, both in the Richmond area.

    I wish I know you were going to be here.. my fellow librarians didn’t share 🙁 It would have been great to have you visit my building also… I am just a few steps down the road.. Glad you have fun here in Chesterfield County, VA.
