If there is anything that is true, it is that the Terrills, as in Harry and Barbara, have an inordinate number of books. The book shelves in our house are filled to overflowing - the overflow resides in the infamous "room in the garage" that was originally built for food storage. Dad has been determined for many years to restore it to being a food storage room. With his new calling as Ward Emergency Preparedness specialist, he feels driven anew to get it in order.
So for FHE tonight, we started going through the books in the room in the garage. Dad said, "Let's just do one shelf. It will be a start." It kind of works like when you give a mouse a cookie though, so we ended up going through several shelves.
Found some old college textbooks - any claimants?
Decided that we definitely need a coffee table (I have been in favor and have been lobbying for same for many years) to display our lovely collection of "coffee table books!" Dad may be humoring me, but I plan to pursue this avenue of interior decoration!!
Dad came across a book we bought in Cochabamba 3 years ago - a history of the church in Bolivia - he definitely got side-tracked!!
Books, books, books - I have always loved them - can't seem to get into the electronic version. And have definitely not kept my new year's resolve to not buy any new books this year!!
(Dad is into his electronic collection - and was much more willing to let go of books I've been trying to jettison for over 35 years!!)
