A good weekend

A good weekend
My friend Grace from Kentucky came to see me. She arrived Sunday afternoon and stayed until Tuesday afternoon. We had lots of good conversations, watched some good movies, and went shopping. Now what better girl things are there to do?

I took her to the school supply store which she likes for her teaching supplies. We thought it was really big and well-stocked last year. This year, we discovered it had moved to a much bigger building so you can imagine her delight. That place brings back pleasant memories of planning for a new school year and trying to come up with inspiring ideas for the students. It's one of the things I miss about teaching.

The other major shopping spree was also a repeat of last year--McKays books. That place is absolutely fabulous. It's a used books/videos/CDs store that is bigger than some libraries. You can find some real steals there. My treasures included 3 books by Dee Henderson, one of my favorite Christian fiction authors. I had been eyeing them longingly at Lifeway, but decided I just didn't have the time or the money. Then I find them for half the cost and just couldn't resist snatching them right up. It's a good thing I don't go in there very often. Although I may have to continue making trips until I get the whole series. Now I'm faced with having to discipline myself to do those things which must be done, rather than reading.
