SRS, I hadn't thought to share my son's reaction to the box of books I sent him on here, but it's a neat thing to see after having been so careful about what I did with my old books. So, here it is. For the rest of you, this is what my son had to say when he received a box of old family books, part of my recent decluttering efforts:

"Mom, thanks!
I opened the corona beer box of books and when I removed the foam stuffing and saw the books, I was taken aback. The value of these books hit me. Stuff from my grandpa's collection, and others also, they are all great books. before I even picked them up I thought wow, cool! What a great library this would be in the 19th century western plains! The text in Two Years Before The Mast is a neat connection with our ancestors. Thanks again, Im psyched!"

Marigold, take very good care of that toe. My daughter stubbed hers on the leg of a coffee table and it caused her quite a bit of trouble. But then she's too young to have taken good care from the get-go and we all know with age comes sagacity, right? LOL
