That's what happens when your brain fills in letters you think you see and not what was actually there. Still haven't gotten around to the YABA titles yet. One of my favorite authors released a book that I was unaware of (The Thirteenth Child by Patricia Wrede) and I had to rush out and buy/read it and I'll blog about it someday soon (I hope!) @Fran – I hope you enjoyed your weeding adventure and will share some of the more interesting selections!

This post reminded me of a time, years ago, when we were celebrating National Library Week at school. I was at the bank making a deposit after school, and this guy kept staring at my chest. I thought "How rude! How blatant! What is WRONG with you?" Then I realized I had on my "I'm a Happy Booker" T-shirt! Guess I WAS asking for trouble! I will be reading all the YABA titles, too, God willing! Cheers... Hey Heather….your blog is always entertianing and full of inspiration.

Both yours and Cathy Nelson's recent posts have inspired me to take some photos next week as I finally get around to tackling those four carts full of books to be weeded in my office next week!

In cleaning out the back closet, I found a box of hand held viewers - the kind for non-audio filmstrips. We also had a metal film cabinet that had a bunch of instructional "films" that you used with them. I kept one viewer and a few of the more interestingly titled or topics to review later - the ones that hadn't already begun to disintegrate. I gave the metal cabinet to building construction to use to store tools! The bottom of it was rusting and damaging the Formica work table. BTW, I'm not too far behind you in the age category - a little less than 10 years separate our ages! Glad you liked this one.

But only ONCE, dare your remind me my 46th birthday rapidly approaching. This was too funny--glad you shared.
