    Default TWG NL by Freecycle by bicycle

    A posting popped up on our local Freecycle list of a set of TWG newsletters. I emailed to see if they were still available. They were and I went out on my bike across town to pick them up.

    They were issues 1-59. I have the books and most of the material is the same, but they are fun to read anyway.

    One issue in the stack that I had never seen before was the Depression Era issue. Very interesting to read!

    On the way home from picking them up I stopped at a couple of yard sales. If I yardsale on my bike it keeps me from buying too much!

    Default old TWG newsletters

    OMG... I probably had most of the old TWG newsletters way back when. Not sure what happened to them through the years but they probably got tossed as we used to move a lot back then and my DH at the time saw little to no value in them. Wish I still had them!
