Our bookstore of choice is usually Borders. This is basically due to convenience--it's in the same shopping center as my second favorite pet store and a good wine store--and the fact that their membership club doesn't require you to pay twenty-five dollars a year* for the privilege of buying things at their store. But on this day we went out of our way to go to Barnes & Noble because Sandi's school in Virginia was doing a fundraiser there. A portion of any purchase we made on this day went to Magruder Elementary. I had to get some journal refills anyway, so off we went.

*Seriously Barnes & Noble. What the heck are you thinking still doing this? No wonder Borders is kicking your rump around here.

Thanks for the update. As always I love to start my day with pictures and blogs from our favorite California folks. We are so excited about seeing you guys. I am hoping that we can go strawberry picking while you are here. Sandi
Actually, in the "bookstore wars", B&N is supposed to "win" over Borders eventually... And I have to say, B&N has EXCELLENT choices in their author selections! :) But I can see the irritation of paying for their services.
B&N online book prices are very competitive of which you are soon to reap the benefits.
Mom, your comments rock!
