Hi Nancy,
I sent an email to your badger email address. If you wanted to donate a book to the library we would sincerely appreciate it! A couple sisters have donated a book or two which is always nice.
Thanks,

Hi, Brian!
I will check my library! How about Montrose:Life in the Garden? Is that one still available?
If I buy a copy of Woe is I, can I donate it to the library when I am finished? |

Hi Nancy,
I deleted your mailing address from your post since it's not something you want hanging out on the internet. I have some unfortunate news. It looks like our copy was checked out a couple years ago and never returned. Do you have a local library that can possibly try to do an inter-library loan for you?
Thanks,
Brian |

Love this idea! Has anyone spoken for "The Hope Chest" book? If so, I'd love to be on the list to read this. When I was a girl we called a dishpack my "Despair Barrel" as I collected items for my first home. Fun to think back on some of those old memories.

Thanks so much for your help, with joining the Hen house. I changed my Password and that sorted the problem.
Was wondering if you got my address OK for borrowing : How to Care for and Preserve Your Collectibles, Heirlooms, and Other Prized Possessions by Don Williams. If not please let me know.
Thanks Joan

Soooo good! If you haven't read this one yet, you should! Working on my Beginner Badge ~ reading it to my mother which helps me earn another badge. She is ailing and has memory problems but she had a horse as a young girl, and that memory is STRONG!
