Guess what I found? It was the only book allowed back on the shelf. Now to find Volume one. The book store called me back finally, saying the signature couldn't be verified on the book and it was for sale for $39.00. I found it elsewhere for almost half that price.
We had to head out to the hardware store, and after two stores, I finally found two more seed starter trays (apparently these are selling out fast in our area). I bought the last two of these. Canning jars are available everywhere, but absolutely no sign of canning lids. I sure hope they are in stores soon, I need them. Yeah, I can freeze sauces, but I can only fit so much in the freezer.
Work resumed on the hallway yesterday, but due to "technical difficulties" of another nature, it's on hold (again).
