Happy Mother's Day to all the moms on our team!

I know just what you mean, Keli. I felt 10 years younger once I was healed and had so much energy. Hoping the same for you.

OMGosh! Hysterical that one of the few things you've seen in the lower 48 states is the gum wall!! There are many beautiful sights in the US. Hope you get back to experience more some day. We traveled to Denmark (and also some of the other Scandinavian countries one year ago. Loved your country! Such great cycling.

Oh yes, the gum wall! So odd, but it just pulls you in like a bad train wreck, and hey it's original. lol

Hey Keli,
I'm a "hyster-sister" too! I know it's tough going at first, especially if you had the incision, but I felt so much better after mine. Hope you do too! Every day of healing is one day closer to being all better!

I've been reading the rules, over and over again, and my head is spinning! I've only read one Harry Potter book and wasn't a fan. Horrors, I know! Please don't hate me. :) As a retired educator, I do admire how Rowling captured the attention of so many children and got them reading and reading and reading some more. Yay for that!

I am in the middle of a book for Scrabble, but hope to finish that in the next day or so and then I'll hop in on whatever is needed.

Hi team!
I have never played this game before, so I'm going to be asking a lot of questions, I'm sure. I didn't get a notification that the game had started and haven't had any thread notifications yet either. I just finished with UNO and currently am playing Scrabble and I get those notifications, so I'm a bit confused. So glad you sent me a message, Carmen, or I wouldn't have known it started.

I will participate. I read the book about a month ago, so it will be fun to discuss with others. I really liked the book and the movie did not disappoint. Great casting!

Finished my last book with just 2 hours left to go on the timer for me.
Lots of fun team and much thanks to Sandy and Chris for keeping us all straight and updating the spreadsheet!
Hope to see some of you in a future challenge!

Check my book again, Sandy. I think it's on there now. Hoping to get one more completed before the deadline.

I added my book I just finished but I'm on the app and I don't see it showing up. I'll get back home late today and double check.

Just checking in, team. We're still traveling in Canada and having a blast. I should finish my current book in another day and maybe with the driving get another one finished before the end. I've read less since this challenge started than my normal quota.

Welcome back, Sarah! Ouch, Chris. I didn't know you were having back surgery. That's huge! Glad it went well and hope your healing goes well. I have back issues and know how painful it can be, but still I would be scared to have the surgery. Good for you!

Sorry to say this Candace, but I'm rather pleased to hear that you didn't like the book and were disappointed. I felt the same way and everyone else seemed to love it. Glad I'm not all alone in my feeling. :)

Not sure because I'm on the app on my phone, but it looks like my BOM (The Gunslinger)might have been left off the spreadsheet.
