I will, Jolene. I've got everything personal scheduled around this, so I really plan to work very hard on it. I've told everyone (except my son and DIL who are visiting 12th & 13th) that I am not available. I told them all - "Don't call me, don't write me, don't email me. I'll let you know when I'm available again." Lol. Everyone just laughed at me, said I was crazy. Heck, I already knew that!

I promise I wasn't ignoring you, Barbara. My kids were here this weekend, so I had no time to really check in.

I will do both of these spot the difference puzzles today and email them.

Hina (hinaj) | 884 comments Hi guys,

So JoLene brought up a good point about one of us tracking the puzzle and the cupcake galore we earn through them. Somehow we missed one puzzle last month, so to avoid those kinds of things. I will check on what we have finished when I do the Sunday Updates for the team. I have created an excel sheet in our current spreadsheet to keep track of the puzzles that we have already done and what we haven't done starting from this month.

Team Member Reassignments - For more information and Team Assignements go here.

◆ We have decided to close the sign-up thread to the Tower Teams Reading Challenge, except for replacement players who exactly fit our needs.

◆ We are going to fill the gaps from absent Team Members on the Teams from within our current Team Members.

◆ In order to do this, we will reassign the Team Members of Banana Mania and the Mods of Cadet Blue to various Teams. We have been working on this for quite awhile and have tried to be as equable as possible.

◆ In an effort to keep Banana Mania as together as possible, we are moving some of the Mods.

JoLene (trvl2mtns) | 705 comments OK -- finally got a chance to do the encrypted quote --- it was a hard one since I didn't really have a starting clue :-D

Exercise isn't really the ban of readers now that there are audio books :-D I usually like to a "light" book while I bike (only in one ear on low volume). :-D
