Bookish indulgence
Sorry for the silence, dear readers! We’ve had an extraordinarily busy week. Among much else, I took a trip to the city for what is now an annual shopping trip at the big box stores. I used to go two or three times a year, but since I got laid off from my online job last February, it’s turned into an annual trip (I haven’t been to the city since last October). Glad it’s done!
At any rate, Older Daughter pulled me away from our autumn chores with the promise of a bookish indulgence, namely a nearby town’s annual library sale. Groan, how could I resist?
We got there even before the doors opened up. It’s always fun to go to these events because every homeschooling family for miles around shepherds their kids inside and they all get to indulge in books to their hearts’ content, which is always charming. I saw one toddler in a stroller, avidly perusing a classic kid’s book. It would have made a darling photo.
As I emerged from the building, I saw this trio of siblings waiting for their mother to fetch the car, and who couldn’t help but dig into some of the treasures they found.
Our (meaning, Older Daughter’s and mine) haul was modest this year. The pile below is my choices. I felt guilty going to a library sale when we’re on a budget, but you know how much this collection of books cost me?
$4.75. Yes, less than $5. In fact, I just handed over a $5 bill to the nice volunteers running the sale. It’s for a good cause, after all.
So no, I don’t feel too guilty. At all. Bookish indulgences are always fun.
