10/28/2004: "Sexton's Holiday"

Peggotty's church is having its annual bazaar this weekend: Hallowe'en fun house, tricky tray, turkey dinner, and Grandma's Attic. In other words, rummage. So I went over today to help her set it up. I organized books, checked out games and puzzles, looked over the donated snowblower, taste-tested the pie, and put price-tags on frames. A lot of excellent, intriguing old books came in, and among them, two Bess Streeter Aldrich novels I had never seen. Sometimes the last thing you expect is the very thing you need.
