A borrower and a lender be

Henry and Stanley exchanging books
Neighborhood librarian Bud Osmundson hurried over yesterday to deliver the third volume of Winston Churchill's five volume "The Second World War." He kindly stepped into the war room and exchanged them for the first two books, without commenting on Stan's snappy World War II era boiled wool house jacket. Bud's books are much more fun to read than an old dog-eared paperback. Bud also brought along a dandy Christmas present to show off: A 4-amp hedge trimmer, still in the box, just the thing for keeping the neighborhood tidy. We've been borrowing the Anderson's hedge trimmer for the past 10 years. Now we've got Bud for backup. :)
