Happy Birthday Cat!!

Hi team! Sorry I got behind.... my daughter got HFM last week so it's been stressful weekend. This week will be slower but I did finish my mini challenge book this morning! Yay!

Ooh I liked that one!

Maybe this is silly for but 3 different food items... it doesn't say different "types" of food - so could 3 different cakes work like this one:



(i'm looking at my June TBR)

Ugh LaurLa I'm so sorry!

I kind of like the second option - see what the minis entail and then find something we can use to negotiate with!

Your book Neutral Zone had a checked box for our bonus...I removed it because there was nothing posted with it. If it works for something, please do populate as we need one more.

Thanks"


Whoops I think that was a mistake, thanks

DQs Day 3
Chapters 13-19

9. I don't know how I feel about the school basically milking Ray owning a Stradivarius and him having to do an interview without even getting asked to do so. I personally would have preferred to keep it private, at least for a while. What are your thoughts on the situation?YES!! This did not sit well with me at all. Obviously they are taking advantage of him because now all this drama and danger will follow him and all he wants to do is play. However....I do see that people are inviting him to play because of the violin so again it's the line of is it worth it for people to know so he can have the influence to follow his passion?

10. I can see where Ray's family is coming from wanting to sell the Stradivarius and divide the money, but they never showed any interest in the violin even though it had been in the family for a century, and Ray's grandmother gave Ray the fiddle for Christmas. He had to take care of everything surrounding it and his school/education himself, and he never even had much money to begin with. Would you be selling whatever in your life might turn out be worth this much money, and would you feel like your family was entitled to fair shares?I am so torn because I cannot imagine this. If it was just a collectors item I might honestly sell it (not sure I would share with his family who treated him like crap tho....) but he is actively using it for his career so, this is tough!

  11. Another family claiming ownership of the violin - it was bound to happen. On one hand I'm surprised they're suing Ray for the Stradivarius since I doubt they can prove the fiddle was stolen in any way, but on the other hand the odds clearly are against Ray. And now his family is suing him for the violin as well?! Who do you think is the rightful owner of the Stradivarius?I think it is his, but I am not surprised that these wealthy white people assume they can just sue Ray and get the violin because who would possibly believe it's him.  That is how he is constantly treated and I hope he gives them the ole ++++ you and they are defeated, though I'm devastated that he has to go through it.  And his family....just UGH

  12. We've been introduced to a lot of different people (whose names I don't even all remember) and they all (most of them anyway) seem to have different reasons to possibly want to steal Ray's Stradivarius - greed, jealousy, racism,... it's all there. Do you have any more guesses of who's behind it all?
I feel like it screams someone with money so probably the white family who thinks it's theirs.
