Started taking the picture book exhibit down. Roger borrowed his parents' pickup truck and we collected the couch, the bookshelf, the rug and the glass case we used to display David A. Carter's pop up book mockups. I stayed on at the museum sorting through books, taking inventory, and putting sale stickers on. Roger and I returned the truck to his parents, we got something to eat, and then I dragged him to a fabric store on an errand. I bought 20 yards of muslin for $15 to redo the backs of the shelves at the museum store. The whole time we were working hard, Jack was playing hard with his friends. He went sledding multiple times! In the evening I took the slipcover and all of the cushion covers for the couch we brought home from the museum to the laundromat to wash them in the big machines. But the labels said do not tumble dry (100% cotton would shrink I suppose). We hung all of the cushion covers in the laundry room to dry, but the slipcover was huge. Roger strung a rope in the garage and we hung it from that. Our jeeps had to spend the night out in the cold.
