Are you feeling better, Meg? I spent time reading last night...only one more chapter of The Legend of Sleepy Sleepy Hollow and Other Stories plus I'm nearly finished with The Dean's Watch, too! Emma and Dorothy will be pleased. My Kindergarten class would say they will be "Happy at me!"😁😂Pammy Jo

I've always been a fast reader and can read a book in one sitting when it is really good...I hate to put it down yet hate for it to end, too.
Hi Meg,I am glad you are feeling better.
I can see why you needed your
rest with all that kerfuffle.
It's funny how that Scottish word
has become so normal. 😁

Meg went to her destiny. I'm still sitting here because I slept until 10:35. I'm going in a few minutes, though. I wouldn't be surprised if it was Timothy Dexter, but I am withholding judgment for now!

Timothy Dexter. Very odd fellow.
