After two separate conversations with Dad and Margie about the Sweet Pickles Books that we had when we were kids, I began a hunt for them on e-bay.
I found someone selling all 26 books! I'm currently in a bidding war with someone for the books. Richard told me that I need to lay low until the sale ends (in about 2 days). I'm so anxious though. I don't want to lose these books!
I'll keep you posted on how it goes.
Just looking at the covers of the books on e-bay brought back so many memories! Does anyone remember Goof-Off Goose? Pig Thinks Pink? Me Too Iguana? Fixed By Camel? Jackal Wants Everything?
Classic books that Nora needs to have!!

sadly I don't remember those books at all. Maybe I'll have to borrow them after nora is done with them.

It's so odd. I, who used to be able to lay my hands on every little thing, no longer can remember what happened to those books. They will probably turn up somewhere in a box in the basement. Those were really fun stories to read to you all, and I do actually remember reading them aloud.
Sorry, Karl that you did not benefit from the adventures of Goof-off Goose, or Zany Zebra. It was so funny to see the characters of those crazy ABC animals come to life in the antics of the Gimbel kids.
Good luck Betsey! I'm hopeful that you will win the bidding!
Its starting to sound a little more familiar now... Or maybe I'm just telling myself that

So I think the bidding war must be over by now... did you WIN?!
P.S. Betsey and Richard, I know how much you love Costco, so I wonder if you have seen the movie King of California? If not you should Costco plays an influential part.
