Alphanumeric Blog Hop
I thought I was too late to sign up for it because I was a couple days behind on reading Mel’s blog, but then she contacted me and asked if I could do a post about punctuation. Punctuation? Yes. Punctuation. or perhaps I mean: Yes…punctuation. The first response is clear cut. Yes. It is about punctuation. The second is slightly less certain. Yeeessss. I suppose it is about punctuation, of all things. It’s kinda rambly & disjointed but still, you must admit punctuation is the focus.

ReplyDeleteGreat self-portrait (how did you set that up?), beautiful roses, and I'm still chuckling about the stove - and still rooting for you to get a new one!
ReplyDeleteWe went looking at ranges this weekend and I have to say I am overwhelmed by the choices and the costs. I may just stick with a slightly leaking gas valve rather than figure it all out. Love the book pile - I always wonder what others are reading.
