I'm not sure how you feel about dogs but the book was fun!<br /><br />I'm sorry your country is in turmoil. I honestly haven't heard anything about it but I don't feel that we get a lot of international news here in the US. I'm glad you have your art therapy! It sounds like a lot of fun! I don't have any artistic talent but I did go to a paint and wine studio one time with my sister and had a lot of fun!<br /><br />Enjoy your week!Jen at Introverted Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04804424405257091608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-612320880156366525.post-74248547980264357702020-10-12T20:42:30.925+02:002020-10-12T20:42:30.925+02:00Hi Sherry, as soon as the elections are over there...Hi Sherry, as soon as the elections are over there on your side - you can start doing your Christmas planning and hope for a better 2021.<br /><br />Have a good week!

Surely something must be done. The people will need to speak up on other platforms. I am not one for politics at all, I'd rather read my book. But if I can get my 10c in, I will do it.<br /><br />I am excited for The Flat Share! So far it is a lot of fun!
