We're kind of getting toward the bottom of the books, though
far from finished (and this, of course, does not count the books in the
other part of the house). But more oddities keep turning up.
Like where did this come from....
It was printed in 1915 and contains not only the
translations, but also pictures of allthe U.S. presidents (ending with
Wilson), a "how to" section of what to do if you want to become a citizen,
and a sample citizenship test. I don't have the slightest idea where
this came from. We never had a foreign student from this part of the
world and neither of us have Danish or Norwegian ancestors, nor have we ever
even thought about learning the language(s).
And then there was this book...
Yes, I worked as a typist for an ob/gyn office for 12 years,
and I certainly would remember acquiring this book, but I don't. And
don't know what I'd do with it if I did.
Today's last oddity is this
I'm not even quite sure that I know where Tunisia IS, much
less wondered about living there! Where DID all of these books come from?
In a way I will be sorry when we have finally sorted through
and given away so many books. It is, I have to admit, a voyage of
discovery every time Ned sets up stacks of books for me to sort through.
Of courses the next problem will be--where will we put all the books we
decided we want to keep, since all of the bookcases in the other rooms are
full. I hadn't thought of THAT problem yet.
We went to see Shrek--the Musical tonight and it was a
fun show. Jeri and I always send each other pictures of the programs
for whatever show we were seeing each night. By coincidence, tonight
she was seeing Fun Home with music by Jeanine Tesori, who also wrote
the music to Shrek.
