Hi Meg,
It's funny, I initially started with the seasonal greeting,
then decided to add the Literary haunts when the idea
came to me- "Why not tie in the group read titles".
I came together so easily. It's rather fun to think of
we're we have been in our mind's eye or imagination.
It's more of an N.E.L. Album, isn't it? πŸ€—β€

was unwarranted. Do not speak to me like that again.

We, I do! πŸ˜‚ But I love our job!
There are times when we don't have any, like we have 2 moms right now getting ready to deliver in the next week or two, and then once those are gone, were going to have a big break. Which is good and bad...πŸ˜‚
