Greetings Blogger Buds. Hope all the dad's out there had a wonderful Father's Day.
Has anyone tried this yet? It's a hoot. You turn in a paragraph of your writing, the software analyzes the paragraph and determines which famous author your writing most closely aligns with. Mine was Ian Fleming.

Greetings Blogger Buds, I trust you all are staying safe and healthy. Did you have a good weekend? A good Monday?As I'm sure you've figured out, my days are repetitive. Writing and gardening:) We've thrown kitten/cat hunting into the mix. I'm looking for a Belle replacement. Another kitty with her sweet personality.

The little grand girl was included in a local sports news article.https://www.reflector.com/sports/local/fields-filling-up-energy-being-burned/article_60bb6d2b-b055-5e1d-bcd8-970f688b9022.html
AND...I'm planning on making some veggie chili.  My daughter recommended adding vinegar and dark chocolate. Anyone tried it?
This is it for me.  I've got next to nothing this week. What's happening on your end?
