Have you read Boy's Life? It's fabulous. Definitely one I want to read again.<BR/><BR/>I plan to have my new endcap picture posted later this week. I'm gonna guess that there aren't a lot on it that you'll be interested in, though. :)Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-21484174684872947142008-06-24T09:13:00.000-07:002008-06-24T09:13:00.000-07:00Great endcap!

A nice piece of halibut or cod (grilled) in a corn tortilla with some cabbage and Mexican crema (like sour cream) and a bit of salsa. Yummmmmmmm.<BR/><BR/>It <I>is</I> fun to put the end caps together. I'm constantly thinking of what the next theme should be. I'm getting ready to set a "Summer Reading" display and after that one I think I'll go with novels centered around women's friendships. And, yes, it's great fun to work in a bookstore. I love going to work!<BR/><BR/>Yep, the kindness of friends in good times and bad is remarkable. I'm constantly touched by the thoughtfulness of folks in the blogging community.<BR/><BR/>Iliana - I agree. I think it's great that people are discovering Daisy Fay after all these years. It's on my list for a re-read.<BR/><BR/>Andi - Thanks. I'm glad he's doing well, too. <BR/><BR/>I have a lot of fun with my end caps.

I was having trouble getting into any particular book on my recent conference trip once I finished Garden Spells, so I struck out on foot to Target one night and picked up that very edition of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn.

I'd love it. <BR/><BR/>I noticed all the comments you were getting caring about you and your brother.

Especially if you're in the mood to laugh.<BR/><BR/>Nat - Isn't it a cute apron? I love it! I failed to mention that folks can find these aprons <A HREF="http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5356426" REL="nofollow">here</A>.<BR/><BR/>Yep, it's a lot of fun putting the displays together. It's even more fun to come in to work on Monday morning and see what's sold over the weekend. <BR/><BR/>We <I>should</I> have a nice calm weekend. No storms in the forecast - at least at this point!

I know Mark and his family appreciate the continued thoughts and prayers.<BR/><BR/>I'm thrilled I won the apron, too! Must blog about it on my cooking blog, though! And get a picture of me wearing it, perhaps cooking something off your blog. Tonight's Tequilia Shrimp might be just the ticket.<BR/><BR/>Help yourself to the books! :) If I had to recommend just one or two, I'd say Boy's Life and Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man.<BR/><BR/>Janet - Thanks. I'll be checking in with him again this weekend and will tell him that everyone's still thinking of him.<BR/><BR/>So, you gonna tell me which four books?! Definitely give Daisy Fay a read. It's a perfect summer read.<BR/><BR/>Isn't Dine and Dish a great blog? Glad you're enjoying it. Kristen's a fabulous writer. Weird coincidence that you saw that floral fabric. Do you sew? I'll bet an apron is pretty easy (says she who can only sew buttons on pants!).<BR/><BR/>Nan - Oooh! I can't wait to hear what Tom thinks of Boy's Life. Rod enjoyed it, too. <BR/><BR/>Colleen - Yes, it is, isn't it?

It must be fun putting together these displays. <BR/>Have a nice weekend.
