Sounds like you have been very busy! I feel for you on the library slog - we have a delightful library in town, but the librarian (though I like her) is not a good fit. She does not read fiction! She's been there a long time and no one wants to have 'the talk' with her. So the library languishes. It's a shame. Sounds like you are enjoying your summer.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472066924589276730.post-59875782088388813612014-07-28T22:05:48.173-07:002014-07-28T22:05:48.173-07:00Great job!

This spring we purchased a one acre lot with a 1905 fixer-upper bungalow. For thirty-three years we lived in the same house and for the last eight years it was nice having it paid off. Now we have our other house on the market and we are enjoying starting over in the country. I feel so free. We lonely have one acre but this is at least six or maybe eight times more land than we had before. We are loving it and happy as two old geezers can possibly be. <br />I'm your newest follower and I think that it would be fun comparing your journeys . . . I hope that you will follow me back. I have met some of the nicest people through blogging.<br />Have a wonderful day.<br />Connie :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.com
