To explain this post I must first digress. My husband and I were both born and raised in Erie, PA. In 1898 Eckerd's Drugs opened it's first store there. When Keith moved south he was surprised to find Eckerd's because he thought it was just an Erie, PA business. Well, about a year ago Rite-Aide bought out Eckerd's, but during this time my husband has had physical issues that prevented him from being able to walk around that much. Well, the other day we had to stop there and I asked did he want to go in and he decided he would try it. When we walked in he had no idea where the items we needed were so he just stopped in the middle of the store. Two managers were at the photo counter and one asked, "Can I help you find something?" And my husband, straight faced and quick witted responded, "yes, I'm looking for Eckerd's". Well, the guys had a sense of humor and got the joke and said, "this is it, but it's not Eckerd's anymore." Which led into a conversation between he and my husband about the beginning's of Eckerd's in our home town...so I went off to get our items. I think I should have left him in the car!
The Friends of the Library book sale is starting on the 7th of November. I have the times on my flyer and I'll post them when I get my flyer at the computer. I've been spending parts of my mornings sorting and stacking books on tables. Yesterday I did religion and today sports. I can tell you if anyone is looking for any of the Soup for the soul books we got them! OMG! I said if I saw one more of those books I would scream! So today while sorting the unsorted paper backs into categories I found two more! NO, I didn't scream but I did laugh!
There are a lot of hunting, fishing, golf, football and baseball books on the sports table.
And of course I have to throw a little bit of political stuff in here. This morning on the news the pundits were talking about that tape that the LA Times is refusing to release because it will look very very bad for Obama and show what he really is and the media isn't allowed to do that. But they did predict that the tape would be released on November 5th and a lot of other stuff that is now being hidden from the public about Obama. And the public is going to be angry and want to know why they weren't given this information before November 4th. And they also said the media will start releasing all the stuff McCain has done for the country and the public is going to want to know why they built up Obama and tried to destroy this man who is a true hero just to get Obama in the white house. Should be interesting. So the press knows they are hiding dirty little secrets about Obama and suppressing all the great things McCain has done. It was good to hear them finally admit it even if it won't change how they are reporting the news. When McCain wins, and he will, the press will start telling the truth.
So, that's it for the catch up posts for anyone interested in what we've been doing with our lives lately.

"I'm looking for Eckerd's". I love it. It's great that the clerk actually got it. And he's just the kind of guy that would be fun to shop with!
