Good Saturday morning! Those of you following my Facebook account know the little bit of serendipity that came our way this week. Ted and I were sitting in my office and I suggested that the room could use a paint. Ted said he'd read in the...
Another week. Another week hanging out at home. So I put out a call on Facebook for photos of one of my books in an interesting location with your thoughts summed up in a line or your favourite line from the book. Last week, Grace Johnston...
