books at stores
that sell many things
we need – food, water,
house supplies –
and food for the soul
cheerful cards
plants and flowers
warm places to shop
walk and say hello
support local businesses
in our Sheboygan County
where we are home
I still miss bookstores that existed in years gone by. And then I found books in thrift stores, grocery stores, and of course libraries. Blogs and books, online and print, all a blessing. Karl and I went to a few stores this week. Spring flowers and plants are starting to appear. Next time, I will have to look and see where they are grown.

names and addresses
for dear friends
no longer on earth
old address book
not yet written
in the overflowing book
cards and envelopes
with last known
addresses
still wanting to remember
what may no longer
be current – places I was
people I knew
Time of Singing, Spring 2018
“not yet written” and “still wanting to remember” were also published in All the Way Home: Aging in Haiku (2019). Edited by Robert Epstein. Middle Island Press; West Union, WV.
a small card
in a devotional book
from a thrift store
words of encouragement
from one person to another
I keep the card with the book
and its history today
and tomorrow
From my site, Poems From Psalms And Nature
The card is a watercolor painting and gift from Charles A. Waugaman (1932 – 2010). All Rights Reserved. Still Life Arrangement by Ellen. Photo by Karl.

This week, Karl and I went to the Habitat for Humanity store in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. I bought Devotions for Christmas: A Celebration to Bring You Joy and Peace (2016, Zondervan). A beautiful book for one dollar.
Habitat for Humanity “We build strength, stability and self-reliance through shelter.”
Habitat for Humanity ReStores information page at their site.
Some day, I hope to measure some of the cards and prints in my files, from many years.
Then, when we are at a resale store, we can look for frames.
Pictures of frames in this post are from wpclipart.
