A GREAT FIND!

Finally I remembered to get outside and snap some photos of the snowbanks on our street. They are pretty impressive, aren't they? The first photo is one our neighbors and friends, Debi & John took of two squirrels having a meet and greet :-)

The weather so far this January has cooperated and although is quite cold right now has been sunny and there has been very little additional snow. Let's hope it keeps up.

Today Bruce and I went to one of our local second hand stores. Bruce was looking for something he wanted and I went along for the ride. In looking around I came across what I considered to be a phenomenal find. It was a children's book called "365 Bedtime Stories" by Nan Gilbert.
I had this book as a child but like all my books from my youth it was given away at some point.
As an adult I have been collecting books from my childhood memories... that book being one of them. I did find a few copies on ebay but they were always quite expensive and therefore I would pass them by. But this book has simmered on the back burner of my mind. Well... today I found it at the second hand store. I couldn't believe my good fortune! And to add the icing to the cake, they were having a bag sale on books... $2 a bag. I discovered a couple more old books from the early 1900s which I added to my bag and came home to see what I could find out about them... hoping they would turn out to be antique and valuable. Still researching them. My "365 Bedtime Stories" book although worth around $60 according to ebay, will not be sold. It is a wonderful memory from childhood which I am going to happily add to my collection.
