a happy memory

Well here's a blast from the past.  I sat down to relax this evening and opened a library book.  This one is part of an old series that I hadn't read for a long time and I thought it would be fun to revisit.  I opened the book as I said and,even though the cover is plastic wrapped and looks brand new, inside the front cover was a library card pocket with the printed warning DO NOT REMOVE CARDS FROM POCKET.  There were two dates written on the card pocket (5-94 and 4-98) which gives me some idea of how long it has been since we last used library cards.  I suppose I must admit my guilty secret.  I did remove those cards from the pockets.  They made such excellent bookmarks.
