No rest for the wicked...or the weary....at first you don't succeed...go in a back door...

Oh my goodness, I need me a new sport....

As a young child, we would always go to my grandparents' for Saturday evening dinner. Once the meal was over, we all, with the exception of my grandmother, would go into the living room to watch TV while she was getting dessert ready. Invariably, Timmy would fall down the well, get lost in the woods, catch bank robbers, or get into some such danger... It would come to the point in the show where the danger was most intense, and little me couldn't bear to watch, where in the heck was Lassie? I would run out to the kitchen, where Grandma was frosting the cake she had been making. She would hand me the empty bowl of frosting and a rubber scraper and let me clean out the bowl. By the time I was done, Timmy was home safely, thanks to Lassie, and all was well with the world. Grandpa would always chuckle and comment, "Of course he was fine, he has to be on next week"!! I would pretend I didn't hear him, and Saturday night's frosting clean-up was always mine!!! The only downer...Lawrence Welk was coming up next.... BTW...great chapter!!! Now if only I had a bowl of frosting to clean up.....

But Dave wasn't the butler @weinerdog, how can that be???

They are truly on the road, Sam leaving a past life behind, and into an unknown world with Ser Graeme as his guide. Much will depend on Sam and how fast he adapts to trouble behind every corner, and those who will try to take advantage of him. And the adventure truly begins...

I agree wholeheartedly!!!!

Not to mention 8" of hard seax....

The dam has broken, and we see the beginning of something new. Hopefully, now there will be several chapters as they build their lives together..

YES!!! Can’t wait to see where this goes!?

Nothing comes easy so it seems, and now to get everyone to safely…

This isn’t going to be all sunshine and roses to begin with, and Victor’s reactions will be telling…turbulence ahead…

Called it…go back to the chapter where Kitt’s father comes down because of a B+ and my reaction…Mateo’s comment was spot on… “A B+?” Mateo gasped, staggering into the room like he’d been mortally wounded. He pressed a hand to his chest. “Oh no. What a tragedy. Call the national guard. Kitt Wellington has committed a crime against academia.”

Wayland, Bran, and Lloyd make a formidable team. Woe be to the idiot that crosses any of them,… And to think, this is the easiest part of their journey…

Oh my…this can’t be good….

All’s well that ends well….

Alex, sort yourself out between Matty and Jake!!

Gay boy meets world, this should be good!

But is Septimus immune to Dragonstone…I think not!

A tsunami named Natasha?

Or right??

Here in Central Massachusetts, the rule of thumb is planting the garden Memorial Day weekend. I will have started my seeds much earlier in a coldframe outside, or window boxes inside the house. I plant butternut, spagetti and acorn squash. pickling cucumbers, no dill please and thanks, and San Marzano tomatoes, which I will can and eventually turn into spaghetti sauce. I have eight very mature high-bush blueberry bushes, which give me more than I can reasonably use. I can what I want, the rest I invite friends and neighbors. My rhubarb is turned into sauce and canned as well. I've been known to toss dried cranberries along with strawberries into my rhubarb for jelly and sauce as well. I'm gonna buy a bushel of peaches this summer and see what I can make of them as well! Love the longer days, outside chores aplenty! If the weather cooperates, in another 2 weeks, next year's firewood will be done!!

Thank you for this, I hope we see more of this crew of lovable misfits!

Trouble ahead and trouble behind…
