But The Apprentice is home this weekend, and she drove the other girls and me out to a couple of the thrift shops. Besides a VHS of Always, two rolls of ribbon, and a pair of Old Navy pants for Dollygirl ($3), all I found was books, but who's complaining?
The Year of the Dream, Scholastic TX 671
Mountain Pony, Scholastic T 53
Ginnie's Baby-sitting Business, a lookalike to the vintage Scholastics but with an ISBN instead
An American Girl McKenna book for Dollygirl
The Ramsay Scallop
and
Mary Engelbreit's Christmas Ideas: Make Good Cheer!

It looks like another good haul. We got an enormous garbage bag full of clothes for $20. :)
Anne de Vries is very good. Do you read German? Our copy is in Dutch, which was the language he originally wrote it in(yes, Anne is a 2-syllable man's name in Dutch).
Have a blessed Sunday!
I did grade 13 German (with an awesome teacher) plus one course at university, but that was a long time ago; I can still figure it out at a children's-book level (especially familiar territory like Bible stories and fairy tales), but that's about it. I liked the book (yes, I did recognize the author's name too!) and thought it would be good for practice.
You always find great books!
