Note from Barb:

Still in the midst of a state to state move here, but things are finally slowing down a bit. Hopefully I'll be able to get out and enjoy the fall colors this week and be back around more frequently :) Thanks to Maureen for keeping the blog going so smoothly!

Also, thanks to blog reader, Karen, who came out to the GA book signing. It was so wonderful to meet one of our online friends!

Hugs to all!
