A Whole New Level of Insanity

As you know, today is the day that the school board 

is going to discuss the possibility of closing our little school.

I believe it is just a formality.

Consolidating the two schools is a sound business decision.

I believe they chose the wrong one, but I am a bit biased.

So tell me, why would I travel to another state 

and buy 332 books to add to my collection

that I'm going to have to move?

Oh, but it was a spectacular sale.  

Those Phi Delta Gammas know how to hold a book sale.

We arrived early.  It was cold so we didn't get into line immediately.

Of course, I couldn't stand it and finally braved the cold temps.

I was about fifteenth in line ---

a line that snaked around the building
and was two and a half blocks long! 

 (Can you say claustrophobia once we got inside?!) 

Mardell and I make a great team.

She got a shopping cart and I sorted through boxes of books.

You wouldn't believe how many small children
I had to elbow out of the way!

It was an incredible sale and I found lots of great titles.

I added a significant number of Newbery Award Winners to our collection.

I also found about a dozen poetry books.

That's always a good thing.

And guess what?

The Casper Public Library is having a huge sale on March 28th!

I can hardly wait!
