I have seen the Hank the Cowdog books on various lists of good books to encourage children, especially boys, to read longer books.

I have NOT made good progress on my list this week. I got some of my items finished, but some of them took a little more time than they should have. Clean out fishpond and stock with new fish. Can you tell, I REALLY don’t want to do this one? Finish weeding all the flower…

I am home from a marvelous week of vacation in the Outer Banks. Sorry for going missing, but it didn’t seem like a good idea to announce my vacation ahead of time.
