Brownie Sundaes & Books

I usually spend my Saturday mornings cleaning the house and preparing it for the upcoming week. But as we had planned to have old friends over last night, I did the lion's share of housework yesterday afternoon. That left the evening free for bocce ball until the warm sun went down, brownie sundaes & bottled root beer, and lots of good fellowship catching up and sharing the lessons God has been teaching each of us. Since I only had a bit of work to do this morning, I finished quickly and drove to a book sale that a local library hosts once a month in an old country club. As always, I found goodies to bring home:

* "Mac for Dummies" and "More Mac for Dummies" for Ben (though he's far from being a "dummy" about Macs, there's always more to learn!)
* "The First Book of Cowboys" for Eli (he's "into" cowboys right now due to his abiding love for the "Hank the Cowdog" series of books and tapes)
* "The I Hate Mathematics! Book" by Marilyn Burns for all of us! Actually I want to use the great math-related games and projects over the summer.
* "How to Prepare Exciting Holiday Menus" by Charlotte Adams (1964) - a little vintage booklet to inspire me
* "Thoughts for Festive Foods" (1964) - yet another vintage cookbook to browse through - listen to this yummy menu:
