Blessings #11 - The Owen Library

Doug finally finished our bookshelves so we now have the majority of our books on shelves instead of in boxes in our family room. It only took a year and 8 months (but who's counting). As you can see, he is a collector. He estimates that we have about 175 linear feet of books in our house. Of course, what you see doesn't include all of the other bookshelves around the house. The blessing in all of his is that our kids always have reference books for their school projects and if we are in the mood to read, we have plenty to choose from. The real blessing is that I feel like we have a family room instead of a storage room. Happy Day!

Wow! That is a lot of books! I am so happy for you to have a place to put them all. I'm sure that was a project.
