Had adventure yesterday but not the one I planned. Sister explained further that today we load up the cars with books to get rid of and go to bookstore next week. Problem for my side is that my sister intended to leave for 8 in the morning on that day. I get off at midnight so that will be too hard for me to do. I thought we were loading at Mom's and then bookstore from there. No.

So started packing up boxes we brought from sister's house and niece watched movies. I got choked up from the dust (bad Daddy) so sister cleaned them off and I help separated. We separated historical and political for the history book store and then popular themes for the half price book store, and then books for Planned Parenthood book sales. I tossed the college books I told them to toss when they were cleaning out the garages, but they were still there. My college books are 13 years old so I presume nobody will want them for their classes and I'm never going to need/read them again. Why Mom clings on worthless junk nobody wants and yet tosses/sells away Dad's collectibles worth something without a care is beyond me.

We saw kitchen addition and work on the patio. I knew they added a stoop for the new pretty kitchen door, but didn't know they didn't remove the cement steps we had before. It looks a little weird. Even more strange is the outside is done and looks strange against the rest of the house with paint peeling. The new inside has the windows removed so unsure how much more now interior wall they will remove. Showed Niece the square nails in the old wall. Those we made by a black smith, round nails that came later were mass produced by rods that are cut into nails so those are round. Dad mentioned that once.

Had supper and Niece got upset she didn't get dessert. New rule is when she looses her glasses, she doesn't get dessert until they are found. I guess she whips them off and places them where she can't remember. Which makes sense since she couldn't remember I went to Adventureland with them last week. Sister couldn't remember that either. It was last Friday. So I loaded books into the cars. I get the half price store job. Niece was sad we had to leave, but I will see her today. They got 4 tickets for the Iowa Cubs game tonight. I never been there before.
