Had to share, especially with my Canadian friends. This tee is the #1 seller for the FUNNY TIMES newspaper. They can't keep it in stock.

If you've never heard of FUNNY TIMES, it's a fabulous (ahem) liberal-leaning newspaper with tons of cartoons, editorials, etc. that are, well, FUNNY! It's my most cherished reading now that we are actually living in #funnytimes. P.S. I don't work for them. 🤣

The #OhCanada November/December read has kicked off and feel free to read any book from the Chief Inspector Armand Gamache series by Louise Penny. I will be reading book #1 (Still Life) as I haven't read any of these books before. Discussion will be high level with no spoilers since there will likely be multiple books read.

I feel some kinda way about disliking this book that is so well-liked. I missed something. Not sure what it was. It was way up there on the New York Times Best Books of the Century (something like that). My Brilliant Friend was #1.

“A twisty, tender and wise look at how secrets can transform the powerful—and sometimes problematic—bond between mothers and daughters, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Susan Mallery.”

1) The overwhelming response my community has given to the call to feed children due to SNAP being cancelled.
2) Fused glass ornament class with my daughter.
3) #AllHallowsReadSwap
4) #ModernWitchSwap
5) Pippin has been to daycare every day this week. He comes home tired, has dinner and we spend the evening snuggled up with the heated throw.
