Highland Acres

A story of hope, love lost and love found, narrated by two women living

sale of deceased artist Katherine Konrad. When Maggie stumbles across a
box of war memorabilia hidden by Katherine's deceased husband, the door
opens to a mystery that sends her across the world. Nancy is a

winning essayist and nature photographer.

The N.O.B.S. Forums Conversations Throughout the Book World
features a print maker this month, alongside her Annex Gallery
exhibition of scratchboard prints. Cathie Bleck studied design and
painting at the University of Illinois. Her delicate yet powerful
scratchboard carvings appear to dance into spirals which she describes
as “the unseen swirl and flow of internal and external spirits that
entwine us.” Cathie Bleck has lectured, conducted workshops and
exhibited throughout North
and South America and Europe. Sponsored by the Northern Ohio
Bibliophilic Society, $3 suggested donation.

 D275: Dollar bill used for time-travel
This was a chapter book that I read in the early 80's about two
children (maybe a brother and a sister?) who somehow traveled to the
future. In the future, everyone was bald and wore shiny suits. I think
there was a picture of the bald future people on the cover. To get back
to their time, I think the children had to use a dollar bill to
activate a time machine in a pyramid- I know that the symbology of the
dollar bill was involved somehow.
Larchmere Holiday Stroll
 Friday, November 23,
11am-8pm
Saturday, November 24, 11am-5pm
Sunday, November 25, 1-5pm
The 34th annual Thanksgiving weekend shopping spree continues on
Larchmere. Look for festive nostalgic horse and carriage rides up and
down
the street (Friday 12-4pm),
hot mulled cider, live
music, holiday decor and special holiday sales throughout the street.
If you're seeking something original and unique for this year's gift
giving, be sure to make Larchmere a shopping destination. Books,
crafts, antiques and vintage kitsch make
great gifts. Besides, it's tons of fun to browse the
boulevard!
 PDF files or websites with more information are available
