Classics Illustrated Comics

Paul has recently been thinking about his old Classics Illustrated comic books that he had as a kid. He Googled them to see if they were available on the Internet and found out about a guy who had a store in Easthampton where he sold them by appointment. Paul set up an appointment for today at 3:30 to look at the Classics. When we found the place it was in the old Stanley Home Products factory now called Eastworks, which has been converted to hold small businesses. The comics store was on the second floor in a huge warehouse type place. The guy must have millions of comics, all separated and in cardboard bins. Paul ended up buying about 12 of the ones that he used to have. He said that when he was a kid he used to get comics for 10 cents, but these Classics were 15 cents so he didn't get as many.

After that we had dinner at Pizza Hut. I have lots of good memories of eating there with the kids when they were young. The place looks pretty old inside now. We hadn't been there in a long time. I looked up Pizza Hut on the Internet and found out that it was started by two brothers and a friend in 1958 in Witchita, Kansas. They called it Pizza Hut because the sign that they purchased only had enough room for nine characters and spaces!

Also, my friend Linda, who is spending the winter in her condo in South Carolina, e-mailed me these pictures of little doors! She knows that I love little doors and have been putting them on my blog, LOL. The first one is from her condo,



and this one is from her neighbor's condo.



Thanks, Lin. I love them!
