I loved that dog. He never minded a good snuggle.

PS: Luke, the zing is like the Christmas magic chime from Hallmark movies. It only pertains to romance.

Maybe I don’t want the zing after all.

Josephine,
Thank you for setting up a meeting with Mr.Fisher next week. You really didn’t have to. The poor man is still trying to sort out his exit plan for a business he’s owned for thirty years. Are you sure he’s ready to talk about leasing the building this soon? And I’m not even sure I’m ready to take the plunge of opening my own bookshop. I love the concept of decorating that place and bringing people in to show them the joys of stories, but the actual business of it? That’s a little terrifying. I’m still trying to garner the courage to open a spreadsheet.
I’m coming to clean your house Saturday. No arguments. Patrick is on my side in this. The doctors said to start taking it easy and you need to listen to them. I’d hate to find my way down to Dr.Turner’s office and inform him of the way you’re ignoring his specific orders. (I tutored Chuck Turner’s daughter in reading so he’ll pretty much do whatever I ask... so you’d better be a good patient.) No one would enjoy you being on bedrest. Least of all, you.
Why didn’t you tell me you weren’t feeling well instead of cooking the entire supper last night? Just because youcando everything doesn’t mean you have to!
Izzy
PS: Please stop texting me Clark Gable pictures!
