Friday morning, May 16, 2008

It’s a grey morning and the lilacs are in full bloom across the street in a neighbor’s yard. Already this morning one eager customer received word that his special order had arrived, and he’s on his way in to pick it up. Last evening the Thomas Merton writing workshop got underway, participants working on their own spiritual memoirs. Artists have dropped in, and I am preparing for an exhibition of my ” Parade, small town celebrations” exhibition of image transfer photographs. The reception is Sunday, May 25 from 4 – 6 p.m. Richard gets his book, and is pleased.  Customers in heated discussion about Bush, agree on the importance of the next election. I look outside and it is gently raining. Another day at the bookshop. — Kathryn
