I go because it's Saturday and I've announced store hours for winter Saturdays and because my friend Susan always comes for coffee on Saturdays. David worked in his studio area, and there was a lively discussion on the bookstore side, and I even sold a book before the door was locked. Not a big business day, but I pretty much anticipated that on the drive in. Everyone is thinking the way we're thinking--soup, pot roast, cookies, tea, etc. Oh, plus our township library will be closed for all of February, so people can take out as many books as they want and don't have to return them until March 1.P.

Good guess?<br /><br />I hope you had quantities of appreciative shoppers. This is the sort of post that makes me think long and hard about moving into "town" -- as in Elk Rapids or Central Lake! -- in order to have places of warmth and cheer within walking distance. <br /><br />Safe drive home.Gerryhttp://torchlakeviews.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4130421352415377273.post-26816449355444597152011-01-22T11:12:00.197-08:002011-01-22T11:12:00.197-08:00Thirteen degrees at 2 p.m. Supposed to go down to ...Thirteen degrees at 2 p.m. Supposed to go down to 2 degrees overnight.P.
