A very quiet "black Friday" as is usual here. Traditionally you flock in on Saturday and Sunday of this weekend. Hopefully you will do so again. We think we are ready for you . . . Still have several Delft tiles which we have reduced to $10; some are framed for wall decor but most are suitable as trivets for hot serving dishes and plant holders . . . Yesterday's picture circa 1965: Bob Rook and I had borrowed dad's car for a few days' meandering in the Shenandoah Valley, but dad neglected to tell us that the gas gauge was erratic. We were on a lonely narrow country lane miles from anywhere when the Caddy just drifted to the side of the road. We quickly diagnosed the problem but it was almost an hour before Bob could hitch a ride with a family from New York City who was visiting relatives in the area. Another half hour and Bob returned with a grizzled and amused mountain man in a rusty pick-up; he refused our financial reward with a chuckle but got us on our way. After such a hairy adventure I think we stopped every three hours to "top off the tank" just in case . . .
