While at the Middleport Free Library’s book sale I picked up a copy of Gone with the Wind. The cover isn’t in the best condition but I did see the price in 1954 was $1.99. Lucky for me the library used book sale sold it to me for 1 dollar. This will be a part of the GWTW collection that I started with a few dolls. This collection,which is tiny compared to some , now includes, books, a blanket, collectibles and a copy of the script. The library does a wonderful job each year of collecting, sorting and selling used books, videos and music that folks donate. The money is used by the library friends for the library.
My Mother Betty added to her John Grisham collection and musical Cd’s. My son Vincent looked over the Stephen King books, and of course, I added to my cookbook collection. It’s a label recipes cookbook, which means it should be easy to follow and maybe good for nights when I don’t have a whole hour to cook dinner.
The Middleport Parade starts at Noon in the Village on Monday. All over the country we remember our Veterans on this special day. And remembering with thanks to those service men and women in the Military that are fighting right now for our freedom. There is a service after the Parade and then the Middleport Rotary Duck Derby begins at the liftbridge.
As for the Nascar scene, Coca Cola 600 is tomorrow night . A race of the most laps at Lowe’s Motor Speedway in NC. Who is going to be the first across the line? Tony Stewart is still my favorite. Who is your pick to win?
What do we have to do to get the opportunity to try some of your cookin’ out of those cookbooks?
Hi Eric,
Thanks for writing in the blog. Lets put in an order for a summer picnic, it’s been awhile. Maybe I can try some things from my new Jamie and Bobby Deen cookbook. Or take lots of short cuts with Sandra Lee so it seems like I hardly cook anything at all!
Just give me a call and I will make something good.
