Chapter 21 PL OK

That was excellent timing... even Dad mentioned that.
I was disappointed when I drove to that corner specifically to buy from the veggie farmer.... and they weren't there. "Guaranteed" to be there on Sat and Sun and supposed to be Fri but.... Sat & Sun don't work for me. Guess I'll go back to the Wed market. That works.

I bet you'll figure out the twist about as quickly as I did. This one actually choked me up towards the end.

23 is up, and I'm uploading 24 now. Kevin was out on a bike ride, and that's as good a time as any to do some more recording.

Chapters 22, 23 and 24 PL OK

Yes, I do believe I could catch a little (almost) emotion in the cemetery but I don't think others would notice it.

Oh and you may have picked up on the twist reading just a little sooner than I did listening.
I did wonder the purpose of her making the wreath though...
Now I'm trying to remember just when I wondered about the connection..

He regularly got her those roses, so she got some and made a wreath of them for him. As for why she MADE the wreath rather than buying one - perhaps to save money? The materials cost $8, and she basically had only that $10 to work with.

Chapter 25 is up. I wasn't "feeling it" so much in this chapter, so it might not come across very well.

26 is recorded, but I won't be able to edit it tonight.

And... finished!

I'm debating whether to work on a Pansy book next, or move on to that book of Miss Banks's relating her experiences as housemaid, street sweeper, etc.

Which is your preference for my next project?

Guess we could finish up the subject while we can relate... If you like.

ETA: Whoa you've been busy. I was thinking I didn't realize we were only a couple chapters from the end... we weren't

"Campaigns of Curiosity" it will be, then!

The meanest man she ever met - really? Here I thought he would have been meaner to not return the ring and give her a lesson. But. yeah, she was giving HER opinion.
