Task: Read a book with a pilot.
Fits: Maddie is a pilot.

I had a change of plans today. I woke up 🤢. But it worked out well for laying around and reading all day...so, I finished my first book for this challenge! Woo-hoo!

That's right! I've got so many new challenges that just started up...I'm getting them confused. 😅

Just a heads up that I will be at a Celebration of Life in a neighboring state tomorrow. We have people riding with us, so no reading (listening to) my book until very late Sunday/Monday. I do plan to finish it on Monday though. Hopefully y'all won't have to wait on me to check in and move forward.

I guess I'm checking to find out how interested in winning everyone is,..."


The book I'm thinking of reading is also a 50-pointer. I'll try to read longer books as often as I can.


I'll follow along with the general consensus about how competitive we want to be, but I do like to win. LOL! In the end, as long as we have a good time, I'm good with that as well.
