We giveth, and we taketh away. We'll try to make sure the cookies don't crumble. The chocolate chip cookies on the cruise ship were amazing!
Oh, and the glaciers are the most incredible blue.
I can't believe you are back already. Not enough time to misbehave!☺

Why oh why can't their last names start with an A, instead of their first?

On Monday, I went on a riverboat cruise on the Detroit River. Not nearly as picturesque as an Alaskan trip.☻

That is happening all the time to me, too! Did you like this book? It is on my tbr list, and I have never read any of this author's work.

Yeah. lol Four down seventeen more to go. Gulp.

Judy wrote: "Gotta fit Siri in there somewhere."He is one of the reasons that I considered Team Asia. Each book in the series is a must read for me. I savor them, and will be very unhappy when I reach the last. I hope there will always be "the next one" waiting.
There's still time to switch to Team Asia. I hear Siri calling you to join him ☺
Wow - setting yourself up for 11 rainbows?

Tired of orange, Almeta? Hehehe.
Judy wrote: "A few greens in your orange smoothies, huh?"Janice wrote: "Tired of orange, Almeta? Hehehe."
Had to do it! Due back at the library tomorrow and Debra's pushing me toward a green smoothie diet!☺
Interuppted an Orange in order to squeeze it in. (Huh, a pun. ;-P)
lol, not much cracking going on. We lost steam on our workouts and I've lost my whip!
Judy wrote: "So Debra cracks the whip amongst Sisters Detroit?"I'm older, but she carries a bigger stick, er whip.
Instead of being likened to a dog with a bone, I guess I'm a dog with a stick!

Was Seed a Buddy Read somewhere, in some group? I thought I saw something about it. I looked at my bookshelves to see what format I had it in so I could join the group read. To my surprise, it was on the wishlist shelf. Yesterday, I opened my Kindle app and Seed started downloading. I had purchased it... just hadn't downloaded it.
Janice wrote: "Yesterday, I opened my Kindle app and Seed started downloading. I had purchased it... just hadn't downloaded it. ..."Because of Orange and a gut feeling about this book, I purchased it from Amazon. When I offered it to Debra T as a selection, she informed me that she too had a feeling and purchased it as well.
When I browsed my e-reader looking for Hammered for the Toppler, guess what was already on my Nook? Yes, I have had Seed all of this time!
Well, I think I got my money's worth. Creepy story.
Janice wrote: "Was Seed a Buddy Read somewhere, in some group? I thought I saw something about it. ..."I don't know about a Buddy Read set up for Seed. There is one set up for The Keeper of Lost Causes on YLTO!.
Horror Aficionados had a Group Read and invited the author Ania Ahlborn to post with the discussion group back in July. That is an interesting discussion to read.
3 orders of Seed in the family. Go figure! One for me, one for you, and one for Mom (if she was still with us). That's how Mom taught us how to shop!
I mentioned setting up a buddy read for Seed, but no one piped up. I'm up for it!
Debra wrote: "3 orders of Seed in the family. Go figure! One for me, one for you, and one for Mom (if she was still with us). That's how Mom taught us how to shop!"lol! Good point, I should have known that I was reverting.
We're a pair, that's for sure. Once upon a time, people thought we were twins. There's 10 years between us and we both look about 10 years younger than our actual ages. At Christmas Mom would give us matching outfits (yes, even as adults) because we both had similar taste in clothes. We would wear our matching outfits to Christmas dinner at our Aunt and Uncle's. Can you picture that? We have photos to prove it!

(pst, Debra don't let on.)
Didn't know you were a twin, Judy. Kinda cool. Your situation definitely sounds confusing!Wonder why we look younger than our age. It's certainly not from clean living, in my case!

"I'm pickled".
I vote to see the photos too.Show us the photos! Show us the photos!

I want to count this book as purple, but you may rule that it as blue.
What say you?"
Ummmm - did this get decided? It looks b-b-b-blue to me.
