Still here, no internet

-

Just wanted to let you all know I am still here! I am in the depths of moving into my new home and have no internet yet, so no big posts.

No further explanation needed for my silence, right?

WEP challenges are FREE and open to all. On the 1st   of the challenge month, there will be a   get-your-thinking-caps   on post. The badge will include the dates of the challenge and the winnerā€™s   prizes. The InLinkz sign up will open on the third Wednesday and close 3 days later. It will contain no news, just the sign up.

It might have been reviewed earlier by one of my fellow MMGM posters, or I might have just found it while browsing the library. It sat on my Kindle for quite a while before I got down to it. Title: Carry Me Home Author: Janet Fox Publication Info: 2021, Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers. 220 pages (Kindle Edition).

But as the days add up, ...

I wrote this while trekking in Nepal last month, highlighting a character w...
