So glad that you connected with Carol, too. Wish I had been able to come visit, too - you, Ingrid, and all those lovely books to choose from - what fun that would have been!Tarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13626451110946889157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-60686033032346482352015-07-12T17:12:12.406-06:002015-07-12T17:12:12.406-06:00Well, I wish you lived closer too, would be so hap...Well, I wish you lived closer too, would be so happy to give these books to a new teacher, Leigh Anne. As for the quilt, an old one I found somewhere. I do have lots, from my mother, my mother-in-law & an aunt. I do use one on my dining table so probably you saw it. Thanks for stopping by!

The hilarious thing is that we're going to meet for lunch at Tattered Cover. You know what that means! I just started All The Light We Cannot See, so am excited to spend some time reading for sure. Yes, I changed the blog, but very recently, so you didn't miss it.

I have been working in my daughter's classroom and there are so many books that need to be replaced because they are so old, yellowed, and cracked. I would have given those books to kids a long time ago. Plus the school I left just hired a new teacher and the teacher before her didn't leave on good terms and she left her with nothing! <br /><br />I love your porch and of course the first thing I noticed was not the books, but the quilt on the back of the bench! Being a "retired" quilter, I am always drawn to them! I think I noticed one and asked you about it in another picture you once posted! Have a great week, Linda!Leigh Anne Eckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03558611848583070310noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-9171069718961083122015-07-12T16:23:09.627-06:002015-07-12T16:23:09.627-06:00Linda, so fun to hear that Carol dropped by for yo...Linda, so fun to hear that Carol dropped by for your book sale. I love the way the books were organized in baskets on your porch. You changed the top of your blog. Maybe you did it awhile ago, and I'm just now noticing. Love the student desk in your office and the hello goodbye window with Ingrid's sweet smile. Enjoy more time for reading this week!Ramonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15929914252480696798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-54306813297397105242015-07-12T15:26:31.496-06:002015-07-12T15:26:31.496-06:00Linda,

I do hope that someday I can sit on your porch with you.

Admirable how efficiently you have been able to sort, organize and say goodbye to your books.

Old financial records that could now be shredded. Had my son on the shredding machine. He didn't find it as entertaining as I hoped so there is still some to get to today. Feels great to clean out but lots of time! sounds like your book sale was all kinds of lovely - full of visits and family.Carrie Gelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08416480940951200461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-73257767313426098592015-07-12T08:47:58.005-06:002015-07-12T08:47:58.005-06:00Thanks, Janet.

Perhaps I can connect them and you and they might want to deliver books to the schools they go to for poetry. What types of books do you have left? Send me an email if you like. I am still at my gmail account. All best for a glorious day. Hope to see you again some day.

And I'm impressed by your office! Mine still looks more like your before picture, as does my living room, and I'm going back to school in about ten days! I definitely think we should go to the Tattered Cover soon, though! Thanks again!Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294455230627182656noreply@blogger.com
