Books

Today was the day to spend the afternoon working in the clubhouse. I enjoy this, I get to see my friends and make new ones. If it's really slow, I get to read which I've been very lax about since I retired.

Today a woman came in with a shopping bag. She told me that she cleared her plans with our activities director. She is collecting paperback books to send to our armed forces and will be taking some of those in our library. What luck! I've got a bunch of paperback books just collecting dust and cat hairs in my office. All I have to do is call her when I've got them all together and she will even pick them up. How lucky is that?

Now, what can I put on those shelves once the books are gone?

Why don't you consider purchasing a Kindle and keeping it on your empty shelves. If you're like me...and like other E-Reader fans, you'll be reading a lot more once again.

I'm with Mary P - I got a Kindle for my birthday this year and I think it's the best gadget I've ever had! Then, on the shelves....start a new collection of something. Why not?!
