Fun, fun, fun!
Friday was post-free for me because I indulged in a special holiday. First I drove up the road to Las Animas, to attend their library sale. Then I had the treat of meeting my friend Jennifer from Denver and showing her all the amazing sights of Lamar. She had an assignment to update the archives at Metro State in Denver for the National Civic League (or something like that) who select the All-American City awards every year. Lamar got the nod in 1959, so she was checking to see what was new and exciting since then. (Yes there was too something!! Well, a few things....)
We had a great time driving around and chatting. Not only is it fun to get to show off your town to someone who is actually interested, but Jennifer is just a fun person to hang out with!
Today has been pretty productive, except it proves I have a strange definition of productivity. I got all the books from the Las Animas sale sorted (list online, list on eBay, list some time in the future maybe, donate back to library sale), plus the four boxes that had still been sitting in my car since the LAMAR library sale three weeks ago), decluttered the laundry room enough to reach the access door to the furnace and light the pilot light, went out to a lovely birthday meal with the clone, repaired the power connection on Mike's train, listed some books on eBay and then helped Mike assemble a bunch of little plastic signs and telephone poles that go with his train set.
Basically, more fun than should be legal.
