April Showers, photo 7

THESE make me oh, so happy..
BOOKS!! I recently acquired these at a local library sale. I cannot attempt to explain how much I love library sales, and how excited I get about them. It's almost unnatural I tell you. It is by far one of my favorite things to do. (At 19 it was the bar and at 39, it's the library..) And lucky me gets to go to one once a month. Yep, you heard me... once a month. (jealous? thought so...) And not only are there ex-library copies, but brand new donated books as well. Isn't life grand? I cannot tell you the finds I have come across-- I have found more than my share of OOP books that my children loooooove, but that sell for big bucks on Amazon. It's not easy though. There can be tough competition at these sales you know. Kids, moms, grandmas, and the ever annoying professional seller (those Amazon, choke-you-outta-every-last-dime-just-because-they-can folks) with their scanner thingies, scanning books to see what they're worth... Kids, moms and grandmas I'm okay with. They're my kind of people. But those scammer scanner folks.... they just better watch out-- I might have to pull a lacrosse move on 'em.
