Ah, life is just a mountain of books. Books upstairs, books downstairs, books on the shelves, books on the floors, books in the truck! Last Saturday, Mom and I went and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Keultjes, helping them go through there books. They need the space in the basement and only wanted to keep some of the books. So, Mom and I sorted and moved and sorted some more! In the end, we had pulled so many to try and sell for her, that we had Sarah and Dad meet us up there with the truck. Fourteen banana boxes full! So, I spent three days last week cleaning books outside. Finally finished on Saturday. Whew!
On Thursday, Buddy and Kay came over in the afternoon and we had a wonderful time visiting. watched a movie and solved the problems of the world.
This week we have discovered two fantastic, new films! First was The King's Thief (1955) with Ann Blyth and Edmund Purdom. What a fantastic film! So exciting! Can't watch it right before bed. :o) It is like a nice type of Three Muskateers. Sarah and I have found a new favorite. Alright, it won't win any Oscars, but it is pure entertainment and adventurous! Second was Top O' the Morning (1949) with Ann Blyth, Bing Crosby, and Barry Fitzgerald. Sarah and I have been wanting to see it for years. A friend in California ended up downloading it from netflix for us and we were finally able to see it! A fantastic film! So cute and funny and entertaining! Definitely this is a film that needs to be released on DVD!
Well, we have another booksale on Friday and Dad leaves for Florida on Saturday. So, we are trying to get ready. Sarah's computer went on the blink yesterday, so it goes into the compie shop. Sad.
The weather is cooling off a bit and getting much nicer. Sarah and I are getting ready for winter and hobbies. We got some fanmail replies last week. From Mary Costa, David Suchet, and Jane Powell. So fun! So we are wanting to do some more. :o) I'll write another post soon about some of the cool books we have found in the past month!
