The Walden Effect: Farming, simple living, permaculture, and invention.

Literal match making

pile of used books ready to be shipped out to new homes


A happy stack of used, hand-me-down books from Anna's shelf are now on their way to new homes across the country.

I'd guess they're in route to the new processing station in Johnson City this evening.

Sort of feels like playing match maker in a literary sense of the word.

I think literal match making involves flammable objects and friction. :)

I can't wait to get the Day Range Poultry book! What a great idea - I will have to try this kind of giveaway on my own blog sometime.

Pamela --- Yep. That's one of our closest cities (although the mail used to go to Bristol.)

John --- It's sometimes helpful to do one of those typical giveaways where you ask for something in return, but I have to admit that this was more fun. :-)
