Book Sale for Children's Books











Princeton has a great public library book sale.
I got books for many children, nieces, nephews, godchildren and other children
who we love. 
*
It's fast work (about 2 hours) to get the books,
with phone calls and texts to Mothers of some of these children,
and a lot of the non-fiction books I know what series or publishers to get.
*
The real work is going through them, organizing them
and then contacting the 8 plus families for books they want 
and then boxing them all up.
*
Shipping them via US Post is another job in itself.
I am guessing we will need from 2 weeks to 1 month at least
to have this part done.
*
It was a beautiful day and I am so glad that I can help
support others who are trying to raise their children,
often homeschooling, in a world that is going off the rails.
*
I am so glad we have books to share and 
educate children who we love!

That chocolate is my FAVORITE in the whole world! I miss being in England, when it was easy to find & cheap.
