Another trip to the library

Today's library numbers: 40 checked out, 10 on hold. Returned 11, checked out 11. Darn, no drop in the numbers.

Returned:
  • The Rusty Trusty Tractor - Very cute, and I may have to get a copy for El Burrito.
  • First Crochet - This is the book with the bath mat pattern that I need to start on.
  • The Crochet Bible - Probably should check this one out again, or just buy it.
  • Boss of the Plains - The story of John Stetson's hats, for kids.
  • Harvest Year
  • The Tale of Cuckoo Brow Wood - Mentioned last week.
  • Style Rx - Not as helpful as I'd hoped. Most of the information was how to hide long necks or wide arms. I need to know how to buy good clothes, and why jeans insist on gaping in the back.
  • Blaze and the Grey Spotted Pony - More for me than El burrito, but I've got the urge to buy the whole set now.
  • B is for Bookworm
  • Farm Crops
  • The Kitchen Readings: untold stories of Hunter S. Thompson - Got this one because the Dirt Band was mentioned in the "Thank you" section. But not in the book, for whatever reason. Now I know a little more about the man than just recognizing his name, though.
Checked out: 1 DVD, 4 audio CDs, 1 book for El Burrito, and 5 books for me, including 2 mysteries and the One Read book for this summer.

Then we spent $5.50 at the book sale:
  • William Anderson's biography of Laura Ingalls Wilder (for the in-laws to give to the grandkids, who like the Little House books)
  • Children of the Lamp: the Akhenaten Adventure
  • A String in the Harp (Newbery Honor book)
  • A Lithgow Palooza: 101 Ways to Entertain and Inspire your Kids
And then we came home. We'd planned to eat lunch in the Garden with DH, but he's busy with some sort of program glitching issue at work. Hopefully it'll be cool the rest of the week and we can do lunch later.
