pickThis book is for anyone who loves The Princess Bride in particular or Cary Elwes in general. Rob Reiner also read his own parts of this memoir.
The Passion it takes to get a project like this made, has increased exponentially since the movie first came out. Against all odds it prevailed. A very enjoyable listen.
grumble...my grandma started new meds last night. Here's hoping they start working soon so she stops calling 911 about hallucinations. For context my grandma has very low vision even after wearing new glasses. So, she comes up with all sorts of interesting ideas of what her own stuff is.
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate. I hope everyone gets what they need this yuletide season! #yule #christmas
set up my grandma's new Shaw(rogers) Tv today, was super easy once I realized it was needing the second power cord...
I used to be better at this. 😓 😁

Enjoying this so far. One part autobiography and one part educational tome.

See original posts or Litsy Events for link.
I've been researching the alternatives to the USPS/Canada Post connections in case the rotating strikes aren't concluded by the shipping date for #yuleseasonswap and #swaps in general. if you have an Amazon prime account you can send items to other people too. if it's prime eligible the shipping stays free. Of course there are also FedEx and UPS which charge the same rate for their lightest parcel class as they do for a card. Both offer flat rate.
The tagged is ready for me at the library.
I finished my first face cloth.
I figured out my sister's birthday present.
I'm cosy inside as the last of the typhoon cause massive raining.
Puppies and kittens exist, even if I don't have any.

In light of recent issues with my other swap from here on out it will be a requirement that participants for both #autumncomfortswap and #yuleseasonswap get tracking for what they send. I have added this to the forms for both.
