So glad you are able to support your mother; no doubt a HUGE blessing to her.<br /><br />Old books: I hang onto them for as long as I can, telling myself I'm gonna read them again. When I finally concede that I'm NOT going to read them again, I pass them along to friends/family, or I send them to the Salvation Army.<br /><br />Blessings, <br />KathleenKathleen https://www.blogger.com/profile/05245926913888212148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-88721716009485370262011-02-23T15:30:33.902-05:002011-02-23T15:30:33.902-05:00Spending time with mom is a really good thing.

She is in good health, thank you Jesus.<br />I am a book hog, I hang onto almost all of them. I have over 2,000 books and my husband has about 3,000. We could open our own bookstore, maybe someday we will.<br />Books are like friends to me, I hate to part with them.<br />Diane Marie Shaw<br />needmorewordscs[at]gmail[dot]comDiane Marie Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03365346835912314686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8844605571269638041.post-32282879856913215312011-02-23T15:12:24.889-05:002011-02-23T15:12:24.889-05:00Family should come first, especially at times like...Family should come first, especially at times like this.

Your upcoming research trip sounds wonderful. I'm taking my mom on my book launch in August. Please don't enter me in your very generous giveaway as I don't want to take away from your regular readers (and I'm trying to squeeze into my historic dress)! Bless you! Praying for safe travels and a treasure trove of research for you:)Laura Frantzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07067252948999879024noreply@blogger.com
