September is a great month for church sales. This morning I spent four dollars and got a bunch of books ( a quarter apiece), a basket, and a few other odds and ends: Buzz Lightyear cake toppers, a memory-improvement game, and a kids' backseat kit that might have a few possibilities for school fun stuff.
[UPDATE: the memory game still had its game wheel, wipe-off markers, and a little white board, but it was missing the 192-page book that was supposed to fill up most of the box. Maybe the donor just forgot...anyway, we got some markers.]
(Too-literary Footnote: I am really trying to like Saul Bellow. Mr. Fixit is reading one of those novellas in the photo, and I started the other one. His, apparently, is about the Holocaust. Mine is about a really bad marriage, or marriages, since I think the main character has three ex-husbands as well as the current one she doesn't like. I am really, really trying, but thirty pages of it was about all I could stand. I guess that one will go to the thrift store.)
