About Books Inc

When the kids were in town last week they stopped at the store one afternoon - and obviously Rachel loved it! We had a good time while they were here and miss them like crazy now.
















The only one who seems happier is the dog - I think he was getting tired of another dog on his turf!

There are many new books at the store - I felt like I was always handing out money the last week or so. Not everything is inventoried, but we are working on it. There are books on or about Ireland, architecture, horses, fiction and lots of other topics. Be sure to ask if you can't find something on the shelves or in the on-line inventory.

Speaking of 'we' I have a new assistant. Be sure to say hello to John Hicks when you are in next time. He will be working 10 hours a week and giving me some time off when I feel the need for a vacation. Welcome, John!

Keep Reading and enjoy the early spring weather!

Spring is in the Air!

The snow has melted, mostly. It has started to smell like damp earth and the gardeners are starting to look for signs of early bulbs! Yeah! The dog and I are now taking 60-70 minute walks instead of 30-45 minutes. We both really enjoy it, he really likes it when I let him run in the prairie.

The Texas portion of the family is driving to Illinois for their spring break. Scott said they must be the only people going north for spring break! See photo for the cutest part of the family and her dog, Sparky! We expect them sometime Saturday. It will be the first really long trip for Rachel - we hope she sleeps most of the way and is entertained by the dog the rest of the trip! We miss having the kids close, but really look forward to their visits. Safe journey to them - see you Saturday and ALL THE MOM RULES!

There is nothing new at the book store. I have been working on getting books inventoried and now I've discovered that there is a problem with the inventory manager I'm using. I inventoried about 50 books yesterday, it uploaded 6 - that is not good! I've sent an email, hopefully the technicians will get it figured out!
