The Frog Prince III

Windswept entered through the trees, carrying a goat and sheep and a young, uprooted tree. When she saw who had joined her sister, she gasped and dropped everything. The goat and sheep, of course, scurried away, but the baby oak just lay there at her feet.

“Oh, Great Wizard! How honored we are to have you in our woods.” She bowed, and looked up, and finally noticed Nell’s casual position. “Nell, wh Read more of this blog post »

Geez Susan! Sorry, I did not see this until right now. How is the Tempe library? Have you seen the Mesa library in old town Mesa? Now that is a cool library, though I have not seen the Tempe one yet :)

Should we get together sometime so I can give you these sweet love stories? I am in Mesa off the 60 and Gilbert. There is a target just north of the 60. I can meet you there anytime, if you give me enough headsup. :)

Susan Of course I would still love them! I forgot are you in Mesa or Tempe? We are going to join the Tempe library one day next week!! Heard its better than Chandler!!

May Abbey I've been thinking about you!!! I still have this stack of books and I see them and wonder - did they end up moving?! So then, you are still here!! Yayyyyyyyy!!!!

You sound so happy and I am so glad! We are thriving over in my neck of the woods and enjoying the weather with GUSTO!!

Are you still wanting those books?


message 1: by Susan

Susan Hey Shawnette how are you? It's been forever since we chatted! What have you been doing lately? Last weekend we went to the Ostrich Festival here in Chandler and tomorrow we are going to Firebird Raceway for Lucas Oil off road races! Loving the weather!! Have a great weekend!!
