watching from my yard, same as you.

So happy you are into another of Louise Erdrich's works. She is a master storyteller. I look forward to Future Home of the Living God.

I'm still deeply involved with Nathan Hill's The Nix. All of the good things reviewers have said about it are true. It is long--700+ pages, but I love the surprises he throws in and his clever story construction.

I had 4 foster kittens last week, which was a blast--like having a 3 ring circus in your home. They were so much fun to play with and I hated to see them go. Now I just have one

This little girl, Smudge, will be going to rescue tomorrow. Sweetheart!!!!!
