lizzybennetYesterday we went thrift store hunting in Waycross, Georgia. It was great fun. I found all kinds of great books. The American Sphinx, which is a book about Thomas Jefferson; The Church Secretary's Guide, printed in the 1980's I thought this might give a good laugh to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blackie_fox (who knows maybe it will actually be helpful); and a weird fantasy/sci fi book about chickens. Some of the stores we hit were way expensive which is crazy for a thrift store. Others were jumbles of boxes which you had to sift through to find the good stuff. I love thrift store hunting. It is so fun to find that perfect treasure, or the not so perfect junk that is only a treasure to you.
We are back in Headland now. I guess there is a tropical depression headed our way. It was so nice of ya'll to whip up a hurricane just for my visit home. Thanks!
Still using the library internet. What would I ever do without libraries? When I was a little girl (preteen-ish), I used to ride my bike to the library and walk down the aisle (with my eyes closed) running my hand along the shelf. I would pick random books this way trying to find the next wonderful read.

Date: 2005-06-11 04:31 am (UTC)I remember you telling me about how you found books at the library. I sometimes miss that library. It had a smell to it - not an unpleasant smell either - that I've always associated with libraries, I feel like I pretty much grew up there. I find myself sniffing any new library I go to when I first walk in the doors.
I did try your way of picking up books. I started in the A's and self-conciously closed my eyes walking, walking, raising my arm up and down and stopping. I'd pull out the book and read the flap. I never did pick up a book that way.
But I think that's just who I am. I don't buy cds if I've only heard one song. I often don't read books that someone hasn't suggested to me first. It's like I don't trust myself to find anything good. Huh...a new revelation about myself.
You're so cool. Just so you know. Ms. T you are one of the coolest people I know.
