Keeping my option open to at least get 5 in a row, so to speak--either all of one letter or one from each letter since we don't get virtual cards, which is great!I'll put in the letter or else the one from each letter later and not plan on choosing a square for 2023. Given that I love Stuart McLean's writing, it is very likely to include that one.
