Anyway, it was off to my cute little local library...you remember this one...
Where my boys got about 10 books each, and I bought...
for which I have no space on my counter.But now I have new inspirational material. And just maybe I need to clean out cookbooks I don't love, and let someone else benefit from them.
Now, off to play in the garden with the boys (translation: supervise while they labor, because I don't bend that well any more), and do a little sewing. Dinner tonight at Perkins as a reward to both boys for getting all A's on their latest set of Calvert School tests. Any Calvert Mom will tell you that's no easy feat, and I am proud!

I am also a sucker for books.
I think the first cookbook I ever looked at when I was a kid was the fannie farmer -
I love to go to library book sales and gobble up cookbooks! Congrats on the grades! Impressive!
Congrats to the boys! I hear their teacher is awesome! :-)
I love my little local library. Looks like you got some real treasures at the sale!
Congrats on your boy's A's. I love book sales, wish i was closer! Diane
Hy Marjie,
Loved your informative post. First time here. Fascinated by your interesting space here. Glad to follow u. Do drop in at my blog sometime.
Well Done Ryan and Mark - just the 10 books each to celebrate?
I think my dear Mum had to move our fortnightly library visits up to a weekly frequency when I was 7 and sister 10, just to keep up with our reading. I still have ALL my books .
It is only blogging that has finally slowed me down to food and fibre (currently knitting/crochet) book purchases only!!
I hope you all have a very happy time and meal out on Sunday. Huggles to all, Michelle.
What great finds! Congrats to the boys and to you. How did Thor do, or does he not test? ;)
My first cook book was Betty Crocker- now over 260 in my house..Congrats to those kids of yours!
Book sales = fun!
Lucky woman....I'd have fought you for the hardcover Fanny Farmer...my old paperback is over 25 years old and I still love it.
your a bookaholic like Sanne haha

You got some good ones!!
You are definitely my kind of lady / mom. And I have to say a hearty congrats for getting all 1's in their Calvert tests. Yes, it is no small feat. I didn't know you were doing ATS. We are, too.
What?! You're not cooking? I"m shocked. enjoy your day. g
That makes two of us Marjie but then you know that already. I OD'd on cookbooks long ago:)
It's really nice to learn that I am not the only "mean" mother. We didn't have a TV in our house for nine years. Yes, nine. Of course, that was before all the new fangled gizmos now available. I don't know who had the more difficult time though. The kids or me. Comments from those would be Brooklyn Bridge jumpers never stopped!!!
I LOVE your library. So cute:)
Congrats to the boys, I hope they ordered a huge dessert!!!
Congrats to the boys for their A's! I am a big book lover too - we hit the library at least once a week.
Our library had a booksale and I missed it. You got some good ones!
Our book sale is this weekend and I can hardly wait. I have two of those cookbooks in my little bookcase in the kitchen.
Congratulations to the boys and to you for making such good healthy rules.
hahahahaha--you and I are alike on this one. And yet, we have so many books that guests rarely notice the lack of TV
