Mix and Match

By:

What I’m Reading: I was reading Warren Hammond‘s Kop on the airplane on Tuesday and was about halfway into the novel, (and enjoying it). When we landed, I tucked the book into the seat back pouch while I retrieved my purse from under the seat in front of me. I put my billfold in my …Read More

Tuesday Travel, Wednesday Rest

By:

And that’s why this blog post will be very short, followed by several other short posts (and not always posted in the morning). I’m visiting family in Illinois until next Tuesday.
