Sleep is so overrated




Category: Random bulletins from my brain | Posted: Tue Jan 17, 2006 10:34 pm

I was a baaaaaad girl yesterday evening. I forced my hubby to take me to the really large HalfPriced books in Dallas.....he says I forced him but I just suggested it might be a nice place to spend a couple of hours on his day off.

Now I have 6 gardening themed books to add to the 4 unread knitting themed books in the basket by the sofa. Also found another copy of Anne Morrow Lingbergh's Gift From The Sea. I had it years ago and lost it in a move. Like I said sleep is so overrated.

The gardening books aren't "how to" books, they are memoirs, essays and various stories by gardeners about their gardens.

Gardening stories can be more interesting to read than how-to's. Good choices Toni.

Have you been to the bookstores in Archer City, Texas that are owned by Larry McMurtry. There are five buildings full of books, all used. We went there when our son was stationed at Shepherd's AFB in Wichita Falls. We spent most of the day. Spent some money, too. Our son was a regular visitor when they lived lin Wichita Falls.
