Every year at Halloween I give away children's books along with the candy. I gather the books at garage sales or thrift stores and the like over the year.

I'll put this one out at Halloween, and we'll see who takes it!

On November 5th, I went to the Community Centre on Father David Bauer Drive to get my daughter a vaccination against H1N1, and I brought a bunch of kids' books left over from my Halloween giveaway. I handed the books directly to children and parents in line.

I ended up waiting in line for 3.5 hours, but we finally did make it to the front, and Lily got her shot.
