The continuing adventures of the Dahl family

We finally talked Elvis into doing a concert for us!

Marie Davis and Jennie Kent roomed together in college. Jennie told us about taking naps before her afternoon psychology class and the music was on a constant loop of “Elvis at Madison Square Garden.” She knows all the words even after all these years. She confesses that she tried grilled peanut butter and banana sandwiches but it didn’t really appeal to her.

People have been asking “what do the Dahls do at night?”

Well, sometimes they order in pizza: “Hey guys, hurry up! The pizza’s almost gone!”

Occasionally, they get together on Bernie’s desk in the Museum and hash over the events of the day around a “campfire.” There weren’t marshmallows the night we took this photo but Bernie has found bits of graham crackers and chocolate. (No eating in the museum!)

Eliza really wants you to know that even though this brown bear looks ferocious, he’s really a cuddly teddy bear (rug).

When they get tired, they curl up with their blankets and pillows on the bear and get some sleep.

At present over 700 different species of dinosaurs have been identified and named. However paleontologists believe that there are many more new and different dinosaur species still to be discovered. The Dahl family discovered the Museum’s play dinosaurs.

The continuing adventures of the Dahl family

Grace: “What is the 518 Rainbow hunt?”
Eliza: “Why are you painting a rainbow?”
Ella: “It gives people something to do, being outdoors, being with family while we are being socially distant during this CO-VID19 Outbreak.”
The creator of the group “saw a similar idea on Facebook from the Italian communities as they were hit hard by this devastating virus in their country.”
She says, “we could all use rainbows and cheer in our lives on a daily basis…bring people together in this time that we have to remain apart; it shows us all the good that is happening and being done, as opposed to all the devastation that we all must witness on the news each day.“
Grace: “So rainbows are a way for us to do something together while we aren’t allowed to be together?”
Ella: “That’s right, but if you want to paint a mountain, that’s ok too. “

Well, David, I know you told Mary you would help her with the book processing, but I’m not sure you’re doing it right.

The adventures of the Dahl family continues…

Hannah decided to sneak away from the family for a much-needed outdoor break. She decided to visit the Pember Nature Preserve for a bird walk. Anyone can do this using a bird book and binoculars. She had a lot of fun and enjoyed the spring air.

If you would like to see what birds have been spotted at the Preserve, visit Cornell’s Ebird website at https://ebird.org/hotspot/L2689047?yr=all&m&rank=mrec

There is no business to come before the board for this month. This month’s meeting is cancelled. We plan to meet at our regular scheduled time in June.

Jo-Ann & Jennie are doing research on pandemics. They found this info from the 1915-16 Pember Library reports that discusses the effect the scarlet fever epidemic had on library circulation and use.
