Happy Landings

Today I attended a class called "Happy Landings." This is class to welcome spouses to Beale. Most of the information I already knew.. but it was a nice refresher, nice to meet other spouses, and nice to have time away for just me. We had a lot of interesting speakers talking about base. IT was a great time. Toward the end of the 'class'... during lunch... the fun began. People from the local area came in to talk to us about what all this area has to offer us.. AND we started getting prizes. Everyone ended up with their own door prize, which was different from everyone else.. and we all got a lot of the same prizes/gifts. The speaker called it "My Favorite Things'... similar to what Oprah has done.. Man, I was ready for it to be OVER because... I was starting to feel guilty getting all of the free things. So, I am going to list out to you what I got for FREE today.. and I might leave some out.. but these are most of them..

From the Yuba Sutter Public Library we received a nice bag with some brand new books:
-Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
-Portraits
-The Golden Compass: Lyra's World
-How to speak Dog :)
