Happy New Year . . .
from mostly warm and sunny Texas.
We have made it through our first month of no snow and ice and have greatly enjoyed it! The day after we left Illinois winter started up there with a vengeance. While we enjoyed moderate to warm sunny days Central Illinois was getting hit with frigid temperatures, snow, ice, more snow, then winter storms, then rain and freezing rain . . you get the picture. Needless to say we made the right weather decision for us!
We have spent lots of time with our son and his family - it is hard to beat Christmas with an extremely vocal 2 1/2-year-old! What a blast. Right now she is sleeping on the couch while we wait for UPS to deliver Gampa Wick's "MAJOR PRIZE". Yes, Rick won a laptop from some contest he entered - we are thrilled since ours is 5 years old and considered (by people who know) to be a dinosaur.
Anyway - the bookstore is still up and running thanks to Jon and Clare. They seem to have things well in hand and I have sent them only one box of books - so far. I found Second Hand Books - two of the four San Antonio locations. I'll have to get out and do some more buying again soon. I like to keep my thumb in the pie.
Remember Winter Hours are:
Tuesday - Friday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Closed Sunday and Monday
