Congratulations Tammie! So glad you enjoyed it!

[~Teresa]

Completed ~ #32 ~ This was fun!

[Fran, Moderator]

Way to go Teresa!

[Red Really]

Two quick questions:

Q: Does PTSD count as an illness (for carry home on your shoulders) or was it supposed to be a physical illness not mental?

Q: Does "tablets count" on read a book you can fit in your purse mean any ebook or audiobook qualifies?

[Jenn (not Lily)]

Thanks for the fun challenge Fran!
