pegkerrThe Little Free Library has been installed! I am not posting pictures of it yet because I want to post them after the Open House party I am having May 11.
But here are a couple photos from the little Moleskine notebook I put into the library for people's comments.
As A Tolkien purist, I know perfectly well that Bilbo’s line at the end of Return of the King is that he is ”quite ready to go on another journey.” The movies changed the word to “adventure,” and I quite like it. It captures well the feeling of opening the cover of a book and sinking into the story.
I thought of another friend I wanted to invite to the opening yesterday, and I knew that I could get his contact information off of Rob's phone. So I charged it up and opened it--and found all the texts he had sent me two years before he died. Of course, he had never erased them. So I started the day sitting on my bed in tears. Ah well. Grief is like that.
Nonetheless, doing this library is a good thing.
