Well, that's my excuse anyway. I retreated from writing this past week. Not to say I didn't have anything to say. (That will be the day.) But, I started to feel a little too compelled to write and that's when it starts to sound contrived to me. So, I'm back from hiatus...for at least today.
What I/we did spend the week doing was continue to explore this amazing community. We're dipping our toes in here and there. The more we dip the deeper the well we're discovering.
We began our volunteer gig at The Commons. We're bookies. No, we're not taking bets, there'd be no faster way to lose money than to hand it over to us. We're not crooks but our few adventures in gambling made the house that much richer in record time. We are called bookies by our lovely volunteer leader, Sue. She is a former middle school teacher and principal and managed to retire with her sanity and energy intact. She is also very organized and came up with a system to deal with the donation, pricing, and selling of used books. I'm happy because I've always had a fantasy of owning a bookstore. This way I can do it without the worry of staying in business. My only worry is that I'll end up spending too much money on books that I just "have to own." But, I promise to use self control as much as possible. Thank goodness the wonderful Langley library is just a few doors away.
We did alot more last week and I promise to catch up before I skip ahead to Current Events.
It does feel good to hit the Publish Post button, so I will be back tomorrow. Promise.
