Sharp Shooters at Magnuson Park

Our last Sharp Shooters Meeting was at the lovely Magnuson Park on Lake Washington. We wandered in the marsh area and along the lake. It was windy so the lake was full of angrily lapping waves. We watched people doing this amazing sport involving wind and water. It was like wind sailing except they had parachute's attached to long strings. The people were on boards and the parachutes would lift them high into the air and then they would plummet back to the water, sometimes with a splash. It looked soooo much fun. Their was a book sale at Magnuson that I went to also. It was the library's book sale of unwanted books. Hundreds, maybe even thousands of books were stacked on rickety tables in a giant cafeteria sized room. It smelled musty like old basements or small town thrift stores. The wind rushed through the open door and rustled the pages of the nearest paperbacks.
