My nephew asked my sister-in-law “How old are you?”

She responded with “39”

He asked her “Is this the first time being 39?”

She told him “Yes”

“Well,” he continued “What number are you going to be next?”

She informed him that she will be 40 next and he said “40!  Woah… I counted to that once…”

I know this is not on my calendar – I must get to updating that soon – but I do have a great show planned for tomorrow!  There is a grand opening for a Arts and Wellness Center tomorrow in Marion – click the image for more info (like where to go!) – I will be doing a show there at 11:00am – make sure you come to check it out – and to giggle at my stories!

I have the rundown of my day tomorrow and it is one busy day!  Try to make a show… or two!  I have a whole day of Library shows – here’s the schedule:

• Bourne Library at 10:00am
• Falmouth Library at 3:00pm
• Eastham Senior Center at 6:30pm

Hope to see lots and lots of people there!  Come one come all!

While visiting the East Longmeadow Library the Librarian told me that a little boy named Ryan will be attending the show.  He told the librarians earlier:

“He is Big Ryan and I am Little Ryan – but when I turn 4 on my birthday there will be 2 Big Ryans!”

Make sure you keep your calendar open in the afternoon – I will be at the Attleboro Library at 2:00 ready to tell some fantastic stories!  Make sure you’re there!  Click on the image for more info!

I will be at the East Longmeadow Library at 11:00 in the AM, I can’t wait to go back!  Please come by if you’re in the area!  I know that is a hike and a half – so if you’re more local and want to wait  I will be at the WIC in Plymouth at 3:00 – or if you want to wait until the evening I will be at the Holmes Public Library at 6:30!  See you tomorrow!

I was informed that The Book Shack in the Independence Mall in Kingston has sold all out of my CDs – so I sent over some more!  So, if you’re looking for a great storytelling disc please head over to the Book Shack and purchase one of Big Ryan’s Tall Tales CDs today!

The summer is almost full – I do have dates left (as well as being able to fit shows into the evenings as well) – but if you’d like to book a Big Ryan show CALL TODAY! (508) 641 5336
