Unbelievable, I did not take one picture today. We started out at a used book store where Ed got 9 books he has been looking for. I sat in the car while he went into 3 used bookstores so I could finish the book I was reading.
We tried to go into two different small museums but they closed on Labor Day. We followed the Lodgepole Creek today and went through Lodgepole, NE. It got its name from Indians who found trees they could use for the poles for their lodges along the river.
We also went through 2 antique malls. We saw a 10 gallon crock with handles similar to one I have for $250. Much over priced! Mine is a family crock and there is no way I would try to sell it.
The book I finished was one in series by Rudolfo Anaya, "Shaman Winter". It incorporates Spanish, Indian and Mexican cultures with Sonny Bacca as a PI. The book I am starting tonight is "The Mystery of Swordfish Reef" by Arthur W. Upfield who was born in England but moved to Australia just out of high school. He has written many books about Napoleon Bonaparte, Bony, a Detective-Inspector for Queensland Criminal Investigative Branch. Bony had a white father and an aborigine mother. These books are extremely hard to find and I find them extremely fascinating. Not everyone does! Ed found this book in one of today's used bookstores for only $3.99. I .have paid much more for them before. I'm missing only 1 or 2 of his books.
Aaron, 12 years old talks to me on the phone nearly every night and texts in between when he has time. He is playing 7th grade football so is very busy with practice and games. You will see me in a new Northside Titan football tee-shirt when I get back. Sarah and Katie are 7 and 6 and love to get the postcards I have been sending. Talking on the phone is OK but bring on those postcards. :)
