To some people it is useless junk; to others it is a treasure!

Can you believe we now have a Goodwill Outlet store? Out of curiosity I went there yesterday. Clothing is sold by the pound. The place was jammed with Mexicans, who I presume crossed the border with few belongings. There was a perfectly good rocking chair for $2.49. I would have bought it, but I had to pick up Sara, who was getting her "Sister Locks" attended to, and there would not have been room in my small car. I did buy a huge sack of books for $.49 each.

My best finds were hardback bound collections of the "Ranger Rick" Nature series magazines. The dates on the magazines were all in the 1970s. They have wonderfully written stories for children, and the pictures are fabulous. For example, last night I read two stories to Jon and Greg at bedtime. One was about an Eskimo boy who gets chased by a giant female polar bear, who thought the boy was a danger to her cubs. The other story was about "Jack Ass" penguins, which bray like donkeys, and live at the southern tip of South Africa.
