I am posting from Ithaca, New York, where I am visiting my daughter for a week. I flew in last night, and it is so great to see her!
Last Sunday, I went with a friend to the local Planned Parenthood book sale. All year, people donate gently used books, and volunteers spend a year (!) sorting, pricing, etc. They have over 200,000 books on sale, categorized by topic and alphabetized by author. Last year, they raised over $500,000.
My parents came home on Tuesday from visiting family in the UK. It makes me sad to think it may be their last trip over as their generation moves into their 80s and 90s.
