I do value books but have learned for the most part to borrow them from libraries when I find the opportunity to read. I do however have a small collection of Mennonite and local history books that I hope to keep as long as I live.Tim Ricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01305530681191503858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-25108201564246627202007-04-02T20:55:00.000-04:002007-04-02T20:55:00.000-04:00Sage: Great photography for a Monday...or any day!...Sage: Great photography for a Monday...or any day!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16539850495318868267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-30031160268335620862007-04-02T19:29:00.000-04:002007-04-02T19:29:00.000-04:00I never have been much of a basketball fan.

I was thinking about getting L.A. some with the books I got her but didn't find any cute ones in time. Good thing I didn't.
