Happy Saint Patrick's Day. It's also "Corned Beef and Cabbage Day" which should come as no surprise. I hope you found a satisfying way to celebrate. I am not a beer drinker so the idea of green beer holds no appeal whatsoever. Isn't that a great word 'whatsoever'? It's not one I am able to use very often.
I personally celebrated the day by going to the library. This was a follow up to yesterday's blog. I walked into the library and headed immediately for the fiction section, specifically the large print area of the fiction section. To my delight, the first thing I saw on the shelf of new releases was a new book in one of my favorite series. I have loves series of books about the same characters ever since I discovered the Little House books in sixth grade.
After I grabbed that book I went hunting for books by Elin Hilderbrand. I was delighted to discover that they have a big selection of her books in large print (my eyes aren't getting any younger). As I searched through the choices I found a book I requested through Libby (the downloadable format) over a month ago. While I'm still on the waiting list there, and told it will be two more weeks before it's available, I now have a print copy in my possession, ready to read. Hooray!
Another plus, now that the weather is warming up, slowly but surely, I can walk to the library to return and check out next time. It's about a 20 minute walk each way which means exercise for my body as well as my brain. My wonder spouse will walk with me but he will probably head for the history section. This plan, going to the physical library, to check out and read print books, is looking better and better to me, but it is good to know that, when the winter winds blow, Libby is always available. Happy reading everyone.
