Dear Patty ~~ I love the Irish quotation, and your blog looks nice.
I hope you are happy with it now.
I sure don't want to hear that "Oops"
Thanks for the Pictures worth 1000 words and the reply to the Winter snow. I love the Bobbitt Update- that was so clever. Take care. I hope all is well at your house.
Love, Merle.
I might not buy those but I would pick up and flip the pages.
Interesting post.
I'm with Arkansas Patti, I might not buy them, but I would certainly pick them up and flip through the pages!
As a side note ... would these titles translate well into e-books? Somehow I think not.
These are pretty good.
