LA's Best Kept Secret

Project 365 - July 22

A word of advice to adults: Don't ever make a promise to a child you don't intend to keep, because they never forget promises.

We have a friend in the hospital in Lewiston, about a half-hour from us. We've been to see him several times in the last two weeks and Jed has behaved admirably during all that visiting.

The last time we went I promised him I would try to find The Toy Library (in Lewiston) and let him play there as a reward.

Naturally, he reminded me of that today as we were on our way again for another visit.

The Toy Library is run by New Life Ministries, which is housed in a large old home right around the corner from the hospital. The play areas include a gymnasium on the first floor and a basement which has been divided into various sections such as sand box, ball pit, puppet theater, fort, tumbling, dress up, etc.

Boy, I wish I had known about this place back in the winter! :)

Note: LA is short for Lewiston/Auburn, twin cities separated by the Androscoggin River but operating as one city for the most part. The receptionist at New Life Ministries was the one who said The Toy Library is LA's best kept secret. I'm hoping to get the word out. :)
