It's raining now and we got almost half an inch overnight. I went out to check and found this collection of leaves in my backyard.
I'm also reading a 900 page book on Theodor Roosevelt THE WILDERNESS WARRIOR by Douglas Brinkley. Slow reading but an excellent biography.
Have made some calls and Frank and Carol have helped a lot, in trying to ideentify the Big Bands that played in Gettysburg when I was a teenager. Amazing we heard Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Ray McKinley, Louis Armstrong and Lawrence Welk. That's like having Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson and Hannah Montana (Miley Cyryus) come to Gettysburg now.
Reasons why I like raiding grandpa's library...
ReplyDelete1- I don't have any over due fines
2- I don't have a due date
3- and I can take however long to read the book.. :)
