People will believe what they want to believe.So true, but I don't even know what the book is about. I think it's an Amish romance. She enjoys sitting here listening to books.
I saw the July 4th entry & thought, "I owed $2.25 in fines? I could have taken that money & bought a book for my Kindle4PC. By owning it, I could have kept it as long as I needed to finish it." Maybe I'd better rethink this.
Then again, I went down to the chicken coop the other day because I was positive there was a wooden chair with arms down there. Mother has a hard time getting up & down from the kitchen table & I thought a chair with arms would help her get up & down. I slid the door to the chicken coop & there was a cardboard box with a water-soaked, warped lid. It was one of those nice white legal boxes you can fold, full of books. The first layer of books were also water soaked. These books are OLD. A lot of Harlequin Romances before the Harlequin Romances started getting sleazy.
I pulled the box out & set it on the trampoline. I was stacking the books on the tramp & looking at them. Don came down & I told him I'd found a lot of romances. I said it like I had found a guilty secret. I don't read a lot of romances. He looked at the books I had pulled out & said, "Does Dorothy Gilman write romances?" It wasn't an incredulous question, it wasn't a sarcastic question either. It was just matter of fact.
I stopped, thought for a minute, & said, "No. I don't think so."
"You found a lot of books then, didn't you?" he said.
But, I felt badly that the books had sat there in a leaky shed for so many years. Now, the box isn't even sitting in a shed. It is out to the side of the couch in the car port.
