That was a tough one, Ruth! I may as well have stuck with a Kennedy as my answer. It was as incorrect as my "final" answer! LOL!!!🤪
Pammy Jo
P.S. Go easy on us with your next question. Perhaps "Who wrote Little Women?" would be good! 🤓

Yes! Another good quiz question would be "What region of the United States was home to New England authors?" Of course, the answer to that would be the Rocky Mountains, right? Oh, I'm being testy, aren't I?? I am kidding, as I do enjoy a good challenge!💖

Hi Pammy Jo,
😄 Point taken.
I'll make up for it tomorrow.
Have a good night, all. I am so tired today. I just woke up from another long nap (that makes 2 naps today) and I'm still tired, so am going back to sleep! Very strange. 😴Pammy Jo

Goodnight Pammy Jo. I hope you get a good, refreshing sleep! 🤗 I've been the same way...it's probably the heat.
