The Truth Is Often Stranger Than Fiction

The love of books that is. Yesterday evening Lori and I took an evening ride down to Milford (a one hour drive) to pick up a bunch of children's books I found on a Craigs List listing. The girl was very sweet, a teacher for 6 years who is being moved to a room with no closets and needed to get rid of things. She sold me 117+ books for $40. Granted after going through them there are a few multiples, but it's ok. I needed new books to read to Ericca. You can only read the same Dr. Suess books so many times throughout a lifetime before you get sick of them. Plus she should recite them back to me, time for new ones! I got some pretty cute ones, and some pretty old ones but its all good. As long as she's getting read to, I don't mind.

Then today Lori and I went through a small portion of the children's and chapter books that she has. I grabbed a bunch of chapter books for Alex. She is going to love them! She's another one that needs to read a lot this summer. Tomorrow the plan is to go through the rest of them and sell off any that we don't want. That will of course bring us to the Book Barn in Niantic, which was a destination already for our weekend. Buying and selling books, what a wonderful thing to do for the weekend :)
