Always interesting to see the things people will donate to the library (some people don’t come in to talk to us, they just slip their items into the return slot overnight so we can find all sorts of surprises!)
Now, the fun library question – would you put these on your Book Sale table like we do with many unwanted but otherwise good condition donations?

I didn’t get a chance to make an updated video so this one I made four years ago during quarantine will have to suffice to celebrate my dad’s milestone 80th birthday.
(At least we all look four years younger in these photos!)
In a world that measures success by the relentless pursuit of MORE, it strikes me as odd for anyone to assume that everyone would suddenly stop striving for MORE simply because they were guaranteed ENOUGH to not go hungry or homeless.

One of the highlights of our Vegas Trip was seeing this act…
Haven’t had opportunity to post this song since August 2017! (Unfortunately, I think our eclipse glasses are still in our camper which is locked away in storage.)
“Total Eclipse of the Heart” – Bonnie Tyler
I didn’t put a nickel of my own money during our week in Vegas but did a bit on behalf of a friend (lost at both slots and roulette) and won a whopping $4.75 at the airport on $20 my mom wanted me to gamble for her.
This “big win” was just as I was almost down to zero on that money and right before our flight got called. (I can see why slot machines are addictive and why that can lead to tragic repercussions.)
We went to Shea’s uncle’s funeral in July 2021 and afterwards, gathered at their farm to visit. The sun was brutally hot so I ended up borrowing a ball cap from Shea’s uncle’s supply and since he didn’t need it anymore, Shea’s aunt let me keep it!
Didn’t think to take it to Vegas during our recent trip but my “READ” hat I got from the Vancouver Public Library got a lot of compliments!
