If you don’t know where you’re going, any road’ll take you there. – George Harrison

Ah, but I do know where I’m going. There is a destination in sight.

I’m heading out on a road trip. With some family members to meet up with a few others. Honestly, I was going back and forth…go? …stay? …go? Well, I’m going. A number of things fell into place so I’m feeling better about leaving and closing the store for a number of days. Shopkeepers don’t like to close for too long but sometimes our state of mind is more important and that’s where I fall into. And being with family is mighty important too.

Here’s the upcoming schedule Monday March 31 to Thursday April 9. Well, rather than post each day know that the store will be closed EXCEPT for Friday, April 3 and Saturday, April 4. Thank you Ian and Hannah.

If you follow me on Instagram (otterbooks) or Facebook (Otter Creek Used Books) I’ll try *try* to post along the road.

I’ve always been fascinated by the Mississippi River and the way of life in these small river towns. – Daniel Woodrell

I’ve a stack of books to bring and a new embroidery project ready to set a needle to. Top of the reading list is Charles G. Ellington’s The Trial of U.S. Grant: The Pacific Coast Years 1852-1954. (1987). Though I might finish it before I leave.

I was surprised, as always, by how easy the act of leaving was, and how good it felt. The world was suddenly rich with possibility. – Jack Kerouac, On the Road
