I've missed everybody! There was so much going on here since the weekend and I was only on Goodreads once or twice. I should be able to check in regularly now. 🤞 I need to look back to previous comments to find the current quiz question. Hope everyone is doing well!Pammy Jo
Hi Pammy! 🤗 It's great to hear from you, I've been thinking about you and hoping all is well! 💗

Hi! I know the answer to the quiz question, only because I have a Lutheran Hymnal from the 1950's. However, I won't be back online until this afternoon. Thought I would have a restful day, but I thought wrong. What else is new??🙁 I'll check back later. If nobody has answered, I will answer.Pammy Jo

I don't remember either. 🙈🤣🤣🤣

I thought I would be able to participate in the quiz, but I thought wrong. 😢 Have a good day.

Hi Pammy,Sorry so much is going on, I hope it soon gets sorted
out. Take care of yourself and try to have a good week.
🤗❤
Hi group,How is everyone today?
I've missed you all.

Emma wrote: "Hi Ruth! 🤗"Hi Emma,🤗❤
How is your day?
Ruth wrote: "Emma wrote: "Hi Ruth! 🤗"How is your day?"
It's been good! How's yours?
Ruth wrote: "Meg wrote: "Which NE author wrote the hymn 'More Love to Thee O Christ'?"Wasn't it Elizabeth Prentiss?"
Yes!! You are correct! Did you know she was from Portland, ME?
I'm glad. Mine has been mellow, the day has beenrainy. A cozy corner with throw, books and coffee
is in order.

Yes!! You are correct! Did you know she was from Portland, ME?"
I thought she may hail from your corner of the country.
Meg's Maine wild card. 😉
Do you have a list of Maine authors?
This N.E.L. author had a near-fatal heart attack after watching a belly dancer's routine?
Who was the author?
Good grief! I think I would too! 😳 Herman Melville?
There she blows🐳 No, nice try.Care to guess again?
Meg wrote: "Good grief! I think I would too! 😳 Herman Melville?"I second that. Ummmm...I'm going to hazard a wild guess and say Thoreau.
Hi Dorothy,No, nice try as well.
With Thoreau's known irritability, he probably
would have made a scathing remark for such
frivolity.
Of course irritable! YES!
It was Mark Twain! Congratulations, Meg!
The ball is in your court.🎾
Good morning/afternoon,How is everyone today?
Out of curiosity, is the interest in quiz waning?
Hi Ruth! I'm doing good today! How are you? 🤗💕

Ruth wrote: "Out of curiosity, is the interest in quiz waning?"I'm still interested, but I agree it seems to be dwindling. 🥺
There does seem to be less and less participation, but that's probably my fault. It's ok, though...I don't think we have to have a question on at all times! 😊
Meg wrote: "There does seem to be less and less participation, but that's probably my fault. It's ok, though...I don't think we have to have a question on at all times! 😊"Yeah, you bet it's your fault. 🥺🤣

Goodness! You didn't have to agree! 🤣
🥺 I'm sorry. No, it's all my fault!!! 😣🤣
Ruth wrote: "Out of curiosity, is the interest in quiz waning?"I enjoy the quiz very much. Quite a lot has been causing me to be preoccupied the last couple of weeks, otherwise I would have participated more frequently. If things settle down here, I look forward to getting back to normal. I really miss all of you so much!
😊🤗🤗🤗🙂
