Yesterday was fun...

[dreamflower]

For the first time in weeks, the DH and I had a day off together in which we were not snowed in.

We went in to Stillwater to run a couple of necessary errands, but also to have some fun. We found a cool resale shop, where I found several neat craft magazines and some old copies of "Sheet Music" magazine!

I went to Hobby Lobby, and picked up some fun things-- I've made a Valentine's Day wreath, and may take a picture to post when I get home from work this afternoon.

Best of all was the library. I went to the Help Desk to check on the status of the library's new e-book program, which is really cool! I talked for a while with the sweet little old man who runs the Help Desk, and mentioned fanfic. He'd never heard of it, so I showed him SoA. Then I went off to look for some books. Later when I came back by from getting three tote bags full to check out, he spoke to me, and told me he'd read one of my stories and enjoyed it.

He also asked me if I thought there was any fan fiction available for "Gunsmoke". I told him there probably was, LOL!

I'm so glad you had a nice day that wasn't obstructed by weather! Hopefully spring is right around the corner.

Googling 'Gunsmoke Fanfiction' turned this up as the first link:

How nice! Isn't it great to have a day off and go have some fun? My hubbie and I haven't been able to go out as planned this weekend due to all the snowstorms. Maybe next week.

oh that sounds like so much fun! And that's so cute about the little old library dude who read your fan fic! :D

You definitely needed a day out with your hubby. I'm glad you had a good time.

Gosh, how I wish a library patron would talk to me about fan fiction! Lucky little old man at the Help Desk! I hope he finds some 'Gunsmoke'.

I have a friend who is in the (gen) Gunsmoke fandom. There have been some kerfluffles lately, with a long-term group closing and another opening up with the survivors. I'll get a link from her.

Oh, I love those rare days alone with hubby! Glad you had a good time, and glad you enlightened the librarian about fanfiction. :)
