Paring Down Our Library

Okay, so maybe "our" library isn't the best reference ... perhaps it's more appropriate to say, "my" library since I know Pat wouldn't claim these and he is part of the impetus to decrease ths size of the library.

Here are the books, let me know if you are interested in any, and I'll set them aside for the next time I see you. Asking price? $2.00 each, open to negotiation, of course. Unless otherwise specified, they are all paperback.

If you live somewhere other than Portland or Boise and you want a few of these, we can work out shipping. Otherwise, I'll take them to Powell's or the Salvation Army.

Love reading over your list. I, too, culled out my book club books from the past years. A little sad but a little freeing too. :) Miss you friend. Hug that little one for me.
