Oh, Sam! I am so envious. I am only on square 66. And I have been rolling and reading since 1/1/12! I seem to be crawling around this board...turtle that I am.

I will finish...I will finish...I will finish (my mantra). :)

Keep going Bea, you'll get there in the end. I got a few lucky rolls so it's probably going to take me a while to do this second round!

And just remember the tale of the tortoise and the hare, you could end up beating us all! ;-)
