One of the best Back to School ads I've received:

w/ Pecan Coffee Cake ;-P(Why didn't my mom know this when I was in school?!!?)Collin Street Bakery has THE best fruit cake. Library- in our guild we've tried several plans to store, rearrange, share the library books; for a couple of years they were all in my garage in plastic tubs (several hundred books), and I made sure we sold the duplicates and less popular tomes, as well as all the magazines no one ever checked out but everyone love to own ...for a while. Now the books are in wheeled library carts (lockable) & kept in storage at our meeting hall. books on DVD? Not the easiest way to curl up w/ a book full of inspiration, nor would it be convenient to have it lying next to my project on the sewing table. One of the best things about Arlington is our public library system (& I tell them so, often), EXCEPT that we can't download books from the website to Mac systems (thank goodness Gene has a dinosaur.. er..IBM laptop ). I enjoy listening to books while I sew/piece or quilt, whether on Bose, Sony box, iPod or computer.



Now, back to that pecan coffee cake... or the tea breads.. or pecan pie ...it's much too warm to bake at home. ;-)

Our guild also no longer has a library of its own. We did, but we had no permanant storage, so each of the member circles could take a portion for several months -- and then the question arose of who was going to schlep the books to the circle meetings each time. Eventually all the books were donated to a library, and we don't worry about it at all any longer.
