Pamela | 2209 comments JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL!
It hit me when I woke up this morning!🏏 He feuded with Thoreau and he wrote "A Moosehead Journal". I didn't know much about Moosehead Lake and never thought about Lowell writing about a lake in his Moosehead Journal, as I never read the book, but I do remember that title.β›Ί Oh, I hope Meg does not leave before she checks in, because I think I'm right. Of course, I thought that yesterday with every single one of my guesses! LOL!!!πŸ€”πŸ˜‚πŸ€£

What does that MPH mean? Is it Miles Per Hour??? If so, how does it apply to N.E.L??? I'm so confused by such simple things! LOL!!!

Pamela | 2209 comments Do you think Meg will check in before she leaves? Try luring her with lollipops, Emma!

Pamela | 2209 comments Look what I learned how to do this morning...😊😁

The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories by Washington Irving

Now I can post book covers! I still don't know how to add photos, though. I've been trying, but it doesn't work.πŸ€”

Oh, well congratulations, Pammy! I'm assuming you clicked the button up top on the comment that says add book/author? You see the one next to it? (some html is ok) Click on that. It explains how to add photos.

YES!!!! 😁 Have you read the Moosehead Journal, Pammy Jo? I haven't yet, but just skimming through it it looks like it would be entertaining as well as informative. Lowell could be pretty witty! πŸ˜‚
