Thus, I know the wonderful bookstore. I also have a deep regard for J. K. Rowling and her creativity. She is a great writer. I've read all her books--several times. And listened to the audios and watched the movies--all many times! Now I enjoy her mysteries, which she does under the name Robert Galbraith. ( I think she's done 4 in the series now. All so well written.) If you like mysteries, you truly might like these books. Of course the grandchildren aren't ready to talk about them yet, but I can so understand your wanting to talk with them about the books they read. What a wonderful opportunity to bond. Peace.

It is filled with twigs but I haven't tried lighting it yet. I fell in love with yours back when you posted about it.

Certainly won't send all and sundry up the wall with "TWEETS"<br />of absolute garbage.<br />With the parental guidance of Ana and Don and your overall reviewing<br />with assistance from the "golfer" and Sarah who surely has learnt something<br />from Angela Merkel in Germany, a youthful President Mason Bogoff would be<br />a breath of fresh air for the rest of the world.<br />Go for it Mason.................make us all proud.<br />Cheers<br />ColinHuggybearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517411617275367396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-28191488201530616442020-03-02T05:02:57.767-08:002020-03-02T05:02:57.767-08:00What a cute picture!
