Weekend Update Celebrates Indie Bookstore Day

...though surprisingly enough, our purchases were quite thin this time out.  I think it was that we already have nearly everything we were looking for!  We of course went to our local indie, Green Apple Books, and enjoyed the visit with free mimosas they were handing out at the door!  I ended up buying this year's stencil (Margaret Atwood's "Don't let the bastards grind you down" from The Handmaid's Tale)  and the third and final volume of the manga for Your Name.  A. bought a few books, and that was pretty much it.  The upside was that Madeleine Albright made an unannounced visit!  She graciously signed post cards for people.  [I'm thinking she was in the neighborhood not just for Indie Bookstore Day but because she might have been visiting someone, such as Nancy Pelosi, who lives not that far from us.]

Other than that, it's been a mundane weekend.  Did a spot of cleaning (will need to do more tomorrow), got my Nook to work correctly again, and pretty much hung out for the rest of the afternoon.  Yay, restful weekends!


Hope everyone's having a good weekend!
