Summer To-Do List

Hello Everybody,

May is already half over, I'm another year older, finished with another semester of school and finding myself packing my books away for another move. Moving day is Memorial Day weekend, but at least this time it is just right next door. Not like the 980 miles for the last move. I've already shut my ebay store down to get ready for the big move, but this time when I open "Patty's Old Books" back up again, I'm going to try something different.

Thanks in part to ebay's rising fees and in addition to trying to narrow my field of sale just a little bit; I'm not planning on keeping a rotating store on ebay for a little while. I'll just use ebay for the occassional auctions and of course purchases. My hope is to try to use this blog page as the occassional "store front" to feature some of my prized possessions.

So my summer to-do list will include trying to figure out the best way to feature the books here, plus have a inventory of sorts along with purchase options. Sounds like it should be easy enough, right - but other items on the to-do list is that silly thing called work, painting and fixing up the new domicile for the landlords and attempting to keep the child from being totally bored for the summer. Oh yeah, I also need to sqeeze in some time for book -uh research, yeah that's the word - research!

Thanks to all of my friends for keeping the interest of this store going, and a Special Thanks to my wonderful wife for all of her help! May your summer vacation be as fun filled as I think mine is going to be, please stay tuned and feel free to offer any suggesions and always save time for that important book research.
