a not so manic monday

We didn't do much ebaying this weekend--the weather was bellisimo!!!! I love this time of year when we don't have to worry about skeeters and flies coming in the open sliding glass door. We spring cleaned the deck, patio, and garage--went to one measly yard sale. Also stopped by the used book store and picked up a few Nona Hengen softcover books from the $1 bargain shelf. I had never heard of her--but in one of the books was a newspaper clippping. She is a localish author who lives in Spangle in the family farmhouse. The illustrations are wonderful and the more I looked up about her the more I realized I've seen a couple of her books from time to time. One of the ones I picked up is selling for 51 smackaroos on Amazon. I'm not very ready to part with it yet, I am going to spend a Sunday afternooon reading through the babies in the very near future.
