 L155: "Lucy's lump" (ambergris)
I'm looking for a book that I read in the mid-70's, probably published
in the 1960's or possibly even late 1950's. I think it was an
elementary reader, written at about the 3rd or 4th grade reading level,
with similar illustrations to the Dick and Jane -type books. The
stories (or at least those that I recall) were about a family that was
traveling around the U.S., probably in a station wagon. I think there
were 4 children (2 boys & 2 girls). ... In one of the stories, one
of the girls (Lucy) discovers an odd-smelling lump washed up on the
beach, dubbed "Lucy's lump" by her siblings. It turns out to be
ambergris, used in making perfumes, and valuable. She sells it,
possibly at a time when the family was short of funds and needed the
money? In another story, the younger girl traces her nickname
("Pudge") on the ice with her skates while skating on a frozen pond or
lake. I think she hates the nickname, but does this as a way of
showing her siblings that she can take the joke? Any help is
appreciated!

 The Woman Who
Loved War by Elizabeth Brownrigg
Thursday, September 15th @ 7pm
Suzanne is a journalist who loves the excitement of war and danger.
When she is severly injured in an accident, she believes she can
recover by exploring the memories that are hidden in her body. One
memory that she must confront, however, is of a terrible act she
committed fifteen years before. In her search for redemption, Suzanne
encounters Rick, a Gulf War veteran who is also haunted by a fatal
mistake.

 We're getting there! By the time you visit Loganberry
next, we'll probably be done.
Jenny Hitmar and Andrew Kaletta had fun with a
new product called SkimStone,
which is a very thin tinted cement-like
floor treatment. First we used red and brown, then yellow, and then of
course
purple. It warms up the room considerably, and you'll wonder why it
didn't
always look like this. But of course you have to see it for yourself.
Come check it out. Oh, and if you want the chronological history of
the room, the evolution so to speak, click on the image to the left (I
pulled some photos out of archives for this).
