Happy Friday!!! I’m off for half a day of work today and then One of my long time girl friends is coming to spend the weekend with me. Funny story how we met. I was staying with my mom about 10yrs ago while in the process of buying a house. She only had a couple acres and I had a temporary fence set up for my horse but I had to shovel poop daily so I didn’t mess her yard up. So one day I was outside shoveling poop and this short petite blonde lady walks over and without a word, just starts shoveling poop. I was shocked and asked “Lady, what are you doing” she replied “ the faster I help you get this poop shoveled, the faster we can have a beer and get to know each other” we have been friends ever since. ! Through divorce for her, marriage for me, and several states in between. Our daughters are the same age and grew very close as well..
I’m so excited!!!
That is such a nice story. And definitely a keeper as a friend. Enjoy your catch up.

Wow, that was a short catch up. Happy Friday everyone. On the agenda today are the post office (hopefully my tortoise has arrived and some data loggers that I am expecting) and then dentist. Guess which one I am looking forward to. Have fun.
I gave montgomery a cuddle but he still misses Linda and Adam.

Your parcel would be great news!!!

Happy Friday. That sounds like start of a joke. “So, a lady walked over and started shoveling poop.” I asked her...

I just finished a book that I really enjoyed! Has anyone read this?
I read it in two days!

If it's not a murder mystery, a cozy mystery or a cooking mystery, it's not in my repertoire! I should have said, "If it's not free on bookbub.com it's not in my repertoire!"

One thousand two hundred and ninety one pages of goodness? Wow. Cover looks great. :)

Not sure if the pages are exact. I make the font really big because I read at night whim tired.

It’s about a young girl who grew up living near the swamp and the town shuns her. It follows her life from 3 until about 60. Lots of things happen in between including a little mystery, a little love and triumph.

I loved it!!
