I almost lo...Pattie, you and I are kindred spirits. I almost lost all my Nancy Drew books when my father died and my Mom and I had to move to a trailer on brother's property. All our things were stored in his home (that wouldn't fit in the trailer) and his children took all my things and did as they pleased. They ruined all my board games, etc... I was able to get my ND books back...barely. I think a few are missing but most I believe came back. My ND books especially mean a lot to me for reasons too involved to explain in a comment, but I do understand how you feel...or at least I think I do. <br /><br />Here's a place I found online that has the cover. http://www.magnums.net/prod/AKB-NancyDrew<br />The place I bought mine, no longer has them. I bought the last one. I paid about $10 less than the price at Magnums. It is all leather and I love it so I think it's worth the expense.<br />BTW, the cover is really too big for the latest 3G Kindle, but I still bought it because my Kindle will fit inside and will snap shut, and that's all I really wanted it do...just to keep it protected. I remove it when I'm actually using it. Mine is too small to fit under the straps. Not sure which Kindle you have, but if it's the newest one, the case may be a little too big. Email me if you have any questions.Susan (Between Naps On The Porch.net)https://www.blogger.com/profile/09655622740971576915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-37125738046771846062011-04-29T05:50:40.804-05:002011-04-29T05:50:40.804-05:00OH NO!

Two weeks ago we had a bad slew of tornados touch down here in Raleigh and thank goodness we were in Pittsburgh visiting my son because we don't have a cellar and the winds make me a nervous wreck. Wishing you all the best during the clean up and so good to hear that you are all safe and sound.

Waiting for the insurance people to come is frustrating because we can't clean anything up and it's getting to me. In addition, the house is covered with debris, so I <i>have</i> started washing it and the windows.Pattie @ Olla-Podridahttp://pattietierney.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-37479785857983995652011-04-26T18:06:27.295-05:002011-04-26T18:06:27.295-05:00Pattie!

I didn't realize you were in the path of those storms, and despite the damage (and we just went through this at our house with a tornado and trees... our yard is a wreck), I am thankful it missed you and your house. Keep us posted and know we are thinking of you.<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4149560156205207645.post-86141077257557391402011-04-26T17:08:52.558-05:002011-04-26T17:08:52.558-05:00Oh my!

They were always worried about it hitting the house.
