Oh you were being sarcastic again then! ๐คฃ I was expecting something like..."
Haha! 5' 8" IS tall, I've just got a lot of tall people in my family. My dad is 6' 3", and my mom's brother is I think 6' 10".

Don't tell my sister Jennifer this, ๐ but you're taller than her!! ๐๐

Oh wow!! ๐ฎ

I just got to thinking, what if there ends up being a tie here too?! ๐


Lol! We'll wait and see what happens. ๐ Where is Ruth today?! ๐ค

Too bad I'm not apart of this - I'm about possitive I'd win!! "
Now you've got me curious, Emma! I probably would never win in a contest like this. ๐"
Well, since you're..."
Emma, you are tall! I have to stand on a chair to reach the top shelf of my kitchen cabinets. By the time I climb up, I usually forget what I'm looking for!

Well,..."
Haha! Yes, I've always been very tall!!

correctly wins the round, or are we
not doing that anymore? ๐

That's the most fair way, Ruth! I think that should be the way to do it!

Oh, I was so curious how tall everyone is! ๐ But you're right Ruth, that is how it should work. Which makes you the winner!!! ๐

I'm still so new here...refresh my memory. Does the winner ask the next question? (I'm also getting forgetful in my old age, so I may have been told that before....but I forget) See, I already forgot I said forget more than once! It has to be this neverending heat!

Pamela, my family did not used to have AC when we lived in TN, so what my sisters and I did, was we would get a bucket of cold water and put our feet in it. It was so relaxing and cool us down so much! Just a suggestion if you're overheating. ๐

Hi Pammy,๐
Your not being forgetful, it's this group- it's a
roller coaster. Remember when you first
arrived and now? Did you ever expect this?
You should read back to July 4th, we spent the day
in hysterics from so much laughter.
Yes, the winner has the next round.

You and I are the same height.

Me, me, me!!!"
Sorry, Dorry..."
I said overnight. Air.

Me, me, me!!!"

H. W. Longfellow's house

As Doreen says, "I'll take my books and move in."

No, because you ate it!

That sounds refreshing! I'll try it! My mom has air conditioning and lives right next door, so I do get relief. I wish my cat didn't get sick from AC ,but she does so I just muddle through the heat.

H. W. Longfellow's house
As Doreen says, "I'll take my books and move in.""
Oooohhhh! What a lovely house! I love old houses. There are 2 not very far from me that are my favorites. The Asa Packer Mansion in Jim Thorpe, PA, and Pennypacker Mills in Schwenksville, PA. I would move into either one of them. President Buchanan's Wheatland is also lovely. That's in Lancaster, Pa.

And why should I, since I didn't guess right?"
Because I was curious? I put my height!

Great Pamela! We also used to wear a wet bandana as well, which worked great!

I'm still a little confuses after being gone for a week! ๐

She's probably the shortest one here, Emma. Now I shall flee... ๐คฃ

Hi Pammy,
So do I. The history, craftsmanship and comfort aspect
really appeal to me.

What author has a garden named for their characters?"
Oh what a cute idea! Maybe we'll have to name our vegetable garden!
Now this sounds like an Alcott thing.

What author has a garden named for their characters?"
I know this writer loved to garden, so I'm strictly guessing here:
Emily Dickinson

What author has a garden named for their characters?"
This is a good one Ruth! I feel like I should guess Emily Dickinson, but I'm going to guess Mark Twain instead.


What author has a garden named for their characters?"
Now I'm wondering if the author planted the garden, or if it was done later as a tribute to the author. Oh dear, this is a good one, Ruth!
Pam

Thank you. I like the way you are processing
your thoughts.๐
Allyson,
You aren't kidding about the afternoon long cheesecake
chat. It took less time to make it.๐
Meg,
I take it your picture is our new quiz slogan?๐ค
Emma,๐ฏ
Do you have a dart board with pictures of N.E.L. authors?

Haha, you might! ๐ My mom is 5' 7". One of my biggest fears growing up was that Dorry would end up taller than me. ๐

Oh yes, we used to watch him Winnie-the-Pooh a lot when we were little. ๐

It's me right now, but I do feel like a bear with very little brain! ๐
