Sex, drugs, rock 'n' roll, chocolate ... .

Chocolate, a good book.........

Book, what's that?
Sad thing is that there are a couple thousand books
in the house to give to charity. A few years ago I
sent some to echo people who wanted them, but now,
Goodwill probably gets them all.

What sorts of books do you have there...? I might be interested in some
of them... I don't think I was on the echo when you did before... or at
least I don't remember that at all...

Seems that's about the way it goes with any specialty field. How many different computers do we have at our house.................I really
don't know. Got lots of odds & ends of parts too. (G) We've also got a
lot of kitchen ware and cook books.

Cookbooks have general interest, though. So
I'm keeping the cookbooks. There's one I was
specifically looking for but can't find, L"Art
Culinaire by Henri Pellaprat, which my father
gave to my mother when they were young. My
father always liked good food.

Maybe it will show up during the clear out...? There was a set of
architecture books my son was interested in in my parents' house, which
I'd been watching for for him... didn't find it at all when we cleared
out the house in town... but when we were working on the stuff up in the
attic of the apartment off Lydia's house, there they were... Safely at
my house now... But I haven't told him yet that I found them... I'm
waiting for him to come back home (or essentially home) first... ;)
