glorycloud's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- the birth of America It is 12:09 PM Saturday afternoon here. I am still seeking to get my bearing's. I got up this morning around 6:15 AM. I came upstairs and Carol was going grocery shopping. I asked her if she wanted me to go with her? She said yes so I put away my paper diary and books and want grocery shopping with my wife. We got home from food gathering around 9:05 AM and we left soon after getting home to go to the Friends of the Library Used Books Sale five dollar bag sale (this the last day of the used books sale). I bought these used books for five dollars- 'The Birth Of America: From Before Columbus To The Revolution' by William R. Polk 'Restless Nation: Starting Over in America' by James M. Jasper 'J. M. W. Turner' Art History Edited By Ian Warrell With An Essay By Franklin Kelly 'Flowers In The Dustbin: Culture, Anarchy, And Postwar England' by Neil Nehring 'Marianne Moore: Imaginary Possessions' Poetry Criticism by Bonnie Costello 'Wallace Stevens: Selected Poems' A New Selection Edited By John N.

I soon left to go fill my old 30 year old Dodge van with gasoline ($4.10 a gallon today). On the way home I stopped at Gateway Center thrift store to look at their used books and saw no interesting used books. I did buy though four used CD's for my Music Collection-Michael Franks 'dragonfly summer', Crowded House 'Woodface', Steve Wynn 'Melting In The Dark' and Aimee Mann 'Lost in Space'. So Time keeps going by. Time is now 12:41 PM and I will close to rest. 12:44 p.m. - 2022-07-23 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
