Wow, I can not believe it has already been a month since I posted last. Time flies when you are moving. We did indeed get all packed up and moved with only a few minor disruptions. The guy hired to help move had his helper quit on him and we discovered our bed would not fit up the stairs in the new place. Atlas we got everything moved and have made temporary accommodations for sleeping.
Prior to all this and just as I was finishing packing up my books, (I actually weeded out a few for an upcoming yard sale), my beautiful daughter comes home and announces, "Mommy, I have a book for you. I picked it out just because it's old and I knew you would like it"? I love my daughter! It seems she was over at a friends house and her Aunt was getting a few things ready for a church rummage sale, among which was the aforementioned book that she very generously gave to my daughter. She, in turn, brought it home to me for no other reason than it was an old book.
My daughter has an excellent future in book collecting. "The Spirit Trail" by Kate and Virgil Boyles, 1910; Second edition. A curious look at Abe Books has it starting at $8.00. This particular copy is a little worn, but considering it is a gift from my daughter and happens to be on a subject I hold near and dear; its a keeper either way. My digital camera needs new batteries so I cannot include an actual photo of my book, but I will attempt to insert a nice picture borrowed from another site. Now that I basically have the rest of the summer off while I play stay at home Mom, I hope to be able to post here more often and to get the store back open, assuming of course that I can get the camera working again. Until next time, Happy Reading! - Patty
