What incredible luck. During an impromptu trip to Goodwill a couple of days ago,
my wife and I not only found a beautiful six-inch cast iron frying pan we don’t need, but these four rugged volumes from the early 1930s:

Volume One — A to pocket veto
Volume Two — pock-mark to zymurgy & supplements

William, you and your wife remind me so much of my husband and me. We love going to Goodwill and The salvation Army stores together. I head straight for the books before anything else. Then I look around for other "treasures" that I don't need, but want :)
These are beautful books! I'll bet your library has that wonderful, aromatic scent of old leather and paper. A scent that I never want to live without. These old pock-marked, wrinkled and torn books have more character than a brand-new, crisp and clean smelling book. Just my thoughts~~~
smile :-) this trip to goodwill must be wonderfull for you and your wife!!
Jan, it’s true, this room I work in, which is where most of the books are, smells like a used bookshop. I love the thrift shops, picking up and examining things, imagining the stories and lives attached.
It was, Laura. A Sunday morning walk when the cherries are in bloom, a trip to buy fruits and vegetables in the country, a visit to Goodwill. These are some of the things we enjoy.
PLENTY OF GOODWILL IN STORE
Very special,
Very good
Will.
May it be a sign of the times;
may they be as good as your word.
