Three giant Parsons towers fit most of the Fredrich library.

We're adding decorating things amidst the books to give it some fun. I enjoy having Bender by Sun Tzu's Art of War.
Books are the best.

 It started with a book . Alexa had bought it and read it and passed it along with a note somewhere along the lines of I think you might enjoy this. I was grateful, as I always am for friends who send me books but it sat on my nightstand for months.  Something happened March of 2020, can't remember what, but all of a sudden there was time now. Time to read something, anything so I picked it up and thus began the journey of desert spirituality. The book is about 3 spiritual practices the author considers the way of the heart.

And IF we added a little side table ($20 at Target) for placing a beverage and remotes on, would that be the icing on the cake?
