My library!

These photos are of my new library in my new home in Walton, KY! This room was suppose to be the dining room, but who needs to eat when you can READ?! It actually ended up being a library/music room because it also houses my piano, 2 harps, the electric training keyboard, a guitar, and many small instruments I collect. My wonderful sister-in-law Anna held on to my piano for the 12 years that I lived in Jackson, GA because it would not fit in the house there. When we moved here she let me have it back. This was very exciting for me; the piano was given to me by my Mom and Dad when I expressed an interest in learning to play as a teenager. Rebecca is interested in learning to play the piano and Michelle has expressed interest in learning to play the harp again so now we have a double purpose room...a library and a practice room! My husband bought and put together these bookshelves this weekend. Those of you who know me well will not be surprised at all when I tell you that these four large bookshelves do not hold all my books; I still had to take 3 boxes of books upstairs to store. In addition, I am storing three boxes of children's books in the basement for my future grandchildren. Rodney says "That's it...you cannot buy anymore books when you can fill up a library and still have overflow." He says that but he knows it is sheer folly to think I will never buy another book. Maybe we can strike a deal; maybe I can give away an old book for each new book that I purchase. I don't know....it is too painful to even think of such things.
