Well, I had a frustrating night last night. I was joining a new book club and got the location wrong. I went to the great book store, Vroman's, instead of the Vroman's Annex next door. Reading is a wonderful thing, especially when done correctly. Read every word. That's my motto from now on. But I am Ms. Lemonade. Stuck with the lemons of scouring every inch of Vroman's and not finding one book club, I decided to look at travel books to peruse for my upcoming cross-country tour. They had books for every country in the world. As for the USA, the books covered USA in general, specific regions, then specific states and cities. There were lots of books. There was not one for the Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan. Not one. So now I'm wondering what the heck is there. Not really. The Internet is a great tool. Karen and I have been learning a lot about those states already, but I really do like books. Even though most of my reading is done for me by a slew of nice readers, I like to have a book in my hand that I can draw on or pull pages from. Oh, I know, sacrilege. But when I travel, I don't like to carry heavy things if I don't have to.
I went to Amazon to get a picture for this blog and found this old travel guide and one for Montana, Dakotas and Wyoming. Perfect. Even more perfect was that they only cost 24 cents each. And $8.00 shipping, but that's nothing compared to the cost of the book when it was new. So, they will be here shortly. See, lemonade every time.
