Not long ago I cleared enough space in our library bookshelves to accommodate our new stereo system and vinyl collection. Remember? I gave a stack of books to a friend (more like family) for her store’s upcoming event, Notes and Letters: Music and Books. That means I “needed” more books, right? Well, maybe not, but…
Eiffel Tower Anniversary
