I keep going back to how in my life, often a fabulous work of a craft artist in an art co-op is not quite right for me to purchase or I think of all the books I pick up in a bookshop....but don't carry to the register. <br />Still, it's imperative to have soothing butterscotch or, currently, fresh dark cherries, handy for that email that says "nada." (substitute chocolate for butterscotch, if you are of that flavor. At the risk of t.m.i, I eat chocolate in the morning because the caffeine later in the day interferes with my sleep...)jan godown anninohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00091996699597066230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934041490878801751.post-11432455453463661062014-06-24T01:05:55.117-05:002014-06-24T01:05:55.117-05:00I really liked There Goes Lowell's Party, and ...I really liked There Goes Lowell's Party, and The Confes$$ion$ and $ecret$ of Howard J.
