We just arrived home from cruise and I only have my travel computer. My daughter has my everyday work/play computer but I managed to pull together this post. I did relax on the cruise but now we are a little tired tonight because of the drive back.
More of you save your ebooks than delete, ten saving to five deleting. The others do not have ereaders.
Eleven of us have fairs somewhere near enough to visit. Eight do not have or do not attend.
Thank you to all who shared last week.

Thanks to those who are sending in Questions. DON'T BE SHY! Surely everyone has a Q or two you'd like to ask. Input suggestions in this Suggested Question Form. At the end of each month I draw from the suggestions I used during the month and that person will get a book choice or GC. I thank everyone for submitting questions. Thanks for sending in questions! We are getting low on questions so hopefully you will send more in -- even if they are duplicates I'll weed through or try to modify to use.

Q1: I have read some books over and over, but I wouldn't say that they have gotten better each time I have read them. I remember almost everything that happens in them though. I agree with you about the Bible, it does get better each time you read it over and over.
ReplyDeleteQ2: I have been to a local rodeo and I have also been to the professional rodeos. I have enjoyed both.
