Book Stores

Today I got about 45 minutes of heaven.  I got to go to a book store.  Yeah!!!

It wasn't quite the one pictured above, but it was a book store nonetheless!!!  Sage and I wandered around looking at everything.  Ok, so I was looking at everything.  Sage was only happy because I said she could pick out a book.

My quest today, was to find something that I can use for work.  I need to come up with my own activities for my clients to do to accomplish their treatment goals.  I have a couple of books that I've gotten at the library, but I just had to find one that I could buy.  I think I found a winner.  It was on the clearance table & could be used in primary, young women's, relief society, and work.

Of course, while on my hunt, I found some cute activity books that I can use with my kids to keep them reverent in church.  (Or to keep me reverent in church.)  I was happy to find a Hello Kitty sticker activity book, also on clearance.

Although I am grateful for the Idaho bookstores that I have found, I am extremely saddened by the fact that my favorite of all favorite bookstores is not located here.  That would be......

I even sent the company an email requesting that they put a store in the greater Boise area.  I even volunteered to be am employee!  (I haven't heard anything from them, yet.)  I love this store because I could always find something that was both wanted and affordable.  And I could sell them the ones I didn't want/like.  Which, of course, led to more buying.

My absolute favorite was a little place in German Village (Columbus).  I have gotten lost there several times.  There are a multitude of rooms to browse.  Enough to occupy a bibliophile for hours or days.  I was able to wander it's wonderful, little rooms and climb/descend it's labyrinth of little stairways one last time before moving with my mother.  Sigh.  I guess it is better to have loved & lost, than never to have loved at all.
I think I need to open a bookstore!!!
