The book sale was HUGE, the had tables filling an airplane hangar with books piled on top and underneath. There was fortunately for the sale but unfortunately for me LOTS of people, the kind of people who so lack the idea of personal space that nothing surprises them. I literally saw a man hop over the back of a lady that was crouched down in the isle looking at a box of books, so that he could get past her and on to looking at more books. I don't think the lady even looked up.
Inbetween fits of judge-full sighing I found a handful of good books (including one on paper mache that I want to try out) and at $1 per book maybe you can deal with the crowd and the Library's REALLY old friends running the sale- when is the last time that you were directed to "the lady with the pink flyswatter" as the next available cashier?
I paid and was on my way to pick up the guys at the Seattle Center and then onto the Gunter's new digs for a tour and to get Jan. The apartment is a neat space and with the clear view of Mt. Baker really did make everyone feel a little like we were back in Bellingham again (which according to my last poll, half of you would think is great, the other half would be wishing they were in Bend OR and Dad would be hanging out at Puget Island).
After the tour, we scooted off to City People's Garden store and had a good time looking things over and picking out plants with Jan and Gary. We have already decided next time they are in town and have time to shop we are going to the larger City People's Mercantile out by UW to see what they have.
With our treasures loaded up we headed home and towards some more of Tyson's wonderful cooking- the man can't help but make delicious food! he BBQ'ed up some flank steak, made a great potato, green pepper and tomato salad, a new style of salsa to accompany the meat and a whole pan of mouth watering corn bread. Here is a snapshot of Gary's plate before he dug in..jpg)
