GOOD NEWS!

Fantastic, Jan! Isn’t great to find things are not as bad as you expect. It just occurred to me today that if you have a vacuum with a hose attachment, you could put a nylon stocking over the opening and go over the carpet and it should suck it up and hold it against the net. I’ve read about people doing that. It didn’t occur to me sooner because I don’t have that type of vacuum. If you do find it you could have a spare.

Glad you dropped in, Georgianna–you never know what you might miss.

I had a great experience today at Half Price Books. I had a $5 coupon so I went by to see if I could find any taped books. They’re getting hard to find. I took back a strange two-box set I picked up last time. I didn’t know the author or exactly what it would be but it was, I believe about $7 so I got it. I put in the first tape and found the premise so weird I couldn’t continue. I took it in and told the man working with incoming books I just wanted to leave it because I didn’t want it taking up space. He asked if I wanted to sell it. I told him I didn’t have the receipt. He said he’d give me $3! Done. I didn’t see any tapes on the shelves. There was a cart in the aisle I’d been walking around and finally looked at it–it was full of taped books! They were marked to clear–$1, $2,$3–all familiar names and titles. I walked out with 10 books for $20! I’m set for many miles of listening.
