Some days I am just amazed at what can be done through the internet!
I’ve been looking for a particular book of cross stitched Christmas
stockings. When Julianne was a baby a local cross stitch store in NC
was supposed to order it for me but never did.
I decided yesterday that I wanted to try to find it on-line.
Unfortunately I didn’t even know the title of the book. The publisher
(Meredith/Better Homes & Gardens) was no help. (Although, I did find a
woman who would send me a copy of a chart from a magazine I lost.)
The title was found through Amazon.com, but the book was published in
1995 and was out of print. Did I really want to try to order it and
wait for who knows how long and pay who knows how much? Not really.
Library! It is nice living in a big city with a large library system
with it’s catalog on-line. I found the book. There are two copies at
the central library downtown Indy. I don’t want to drive downtown.
Hmmmmm. Put the book on hold to be picked up at the library branch a
mile away. Click, click, click. Done. Now I can pick it up in a
couple of days.
I just love the internet!
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

Sorry about this post Marius!
