I Suppose This Could be WHY we own so many books ...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A typical date night for Michael and Rani

 

 

My grandpa managed the local IGA food store when I was a wee tot.  They featured "Little Golden Books" and my grandpa bought me a book about once a week.  I've already blogged before about pestering my parents to let me go on Romper Room when I was 3, because I thought it was a real school and they would teach me to read.  I spent most of my free time in high school in the school library.  I spent most of my lunch hours as a young adult at the G.R. public library one block from the building where I worked downtown.

Michael grew up in a small community without a library in rural Wisconsin.  When he came to G.R. to go to college, he started buying books like a kid in a candy store.  By the time I met him, he needed to marry a woman who owned a bigger house than his, because he could barely walk in his house for all the books.  (I do not exxagerate.)

So where do we go for fun?

  2. Yep. One of our favorite places is Hastings, because they have books, DVDs, music CDs, and computer software. And on top of that, a coffee shop with scrumptious smoothies and desserts. Lots of times we go to dinner and then go by Hastings and spend an hour or two. Did I mention the comfy leather sofa and chairs beside the fireplace?
