Hey Jude

Yesterday my sis Judit came to visit me in Sweetwater. As always we had a great time. Although I am 8 years her senior we have a lot in common. Last night we stayed up late talking bout our favorite topic BOYS. Judit has been following in my footsteps and has been dating a younger man...
Since we went to bed late, we woke up late. We watched Sweeney Todd, one of our favorite musicals and then had lunch at a Chinese place here in Sweetwater, and to our surprise it was delicious.
Judit has been telling me for awhile that she's been wanting to read a good book and so I decided we should check out this book store, Arlene's Book House. We really enjoyed it; according to their signs, they store more than 30,000 books! We found Chronicles of Narnia, Animal Farm, The Catcher in the Rye, The Day of the Locust, Frankenstein,, Romeo and Juliet, Mrs. Dalloway, I know why the Caged bird sings, War and Peace and other classics. And the best part...they're about $2.00 each, for a unemployed woman that's great!! After a couple of hours we had to go, but we will return. I'm curious if they have any classic children's books.


The Lady told us that this store has been in operation since 1976

Judit deep into her reading


Judit couldn't believe what she was reading "Men who hate women & the women who love them". It was hard to make her put it down

Wow! That's a lot of cheap books. I will want to take Kevin to that store next month. He buys a lot of books. Me?...I go to the library and check them out. If I buy the book, I probably won't read it because there will be no need to return it before a certain time.
Well, did Judith buy the book? The title sounds interesting.

I like the library as well! But my goal is to one day have my own library! And no Judit didn't get the book, not her genre!
