Trip shared by 3 friends last Monday...one of our "day trips" which wasn't too long, and included our main interest...namely used books stores.
We left home around 9:30 am, hoping to have time to shop and drive both ways, as well as have lunch in Sylva, NC.
The hospital in Sylva. For Skywatch Friday.
It's about an hour drive from Black Mountain where we all live, and my friend asked me to drive her hybrid Toyota, which I was glad to do. She doesn't mind driving on highways, but prefers to not have to park in towns. And often we would change drivers just so I could park her sweet little car.
Anyway, I was driving. And when we got to Sylva, we drove down the main street with shops...and parked near a used books store. We spent a little while there, and I came out with a couple of books. We walked along and would just choose places that looked interesting to shop in...and there were several interesting stores! But also there were a couple closed on Mon. I never like that kind of place.
As everyone knows, last Mon. was the first of our 99 degree days, so we were glad to be walking in the shade most of the time...and also were glad we got there a bit early!
That may be the car I drove, the white Toyota down in the lower right corner. But I mainly wanted a photo of the office of a newspaper!
We were astonished that their Friends of the Library have a whole bookstore of used books! They had just one rack of new books.
I was looking for some favorite authors...but hadn't figured out the correct name for a woman who writes novels as if she was Sherlock Holmes' wife...and then I saw one shelf labeled "Sherlock Holmes wanta-bes" and there was Laurie R. King...so I did purchase it for $2.50. I also found another book in mint condition to give to a relative!
My friend (in blue here) usually works Tues-Sat. so we had chosen this Mon. when she could come with us.
More of our Sylva adventures on another post (I know I sometime jam 10 photos into one post, and I know you all just zoom quickly through them.
Today's quote (Yes another Einstein one...eventually I'll have used up my collection)
“Everything is energy and that is all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you can not help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.”
