No problem ... I wasn’t sitting here sulking, I had gone out. One of our parishioners is seriously ill with cancer and needs help with transportation for herself and her children. Today I was signed up to take them to a psychologist appointment and also make supper. Fortunately, all the locations are within 15 minutes of my house. I have this shift again around the end of February, too.

I took Sally to the used book store while they had their counseling. I don’t know what she bought - she had a gift certificate - but I got an Evelyn Waugh novel, an anthology of Australian poetry, and a book about Central Asia. After trade-in credits, it cost me $1.28.

“The Book Lady” has a shaggy white standard poodle named Josie, who hangs out in the bookstore. I had spilled a few drops of chili on my pants during the dinner-transport, and Josie gave me a thorough sniffing and thoughtfully considered eating my whole leg, before deciding it was easier just to lie down again.

I love free/almost books!

There seems to be a never-ending supply, but I’m still trying to catch up on the Ladie’s Detective Agency....(for lack of the correct, full length title.)

I will check Amazon and see if any are available for the Kindle I now proudly own. Boy! That thing is so much fun!
