It was an oversight but I do intend to include them. I will let you know when I add the edited edition. Whispery kisses is a favorite in your poem today. I would also like to include this poem in the gallery. Enjoy NCTE.

It is a lot of reading -- but so rewarding too! <br />Adult books--I'm a historical fiction fan. I love a Tracy Chevalier book every once in a while. The Last Runaway was very good. Also, Orphan Train....by a different author.

Our old oak out front is still kicking off its covers after tossing its acorns for the deer. Off they all go to sleep... I loved your tip! Such good advice in many ways, and you give it with great heart and wisdom. Your poems certainly reflect thoughtful cup filling, and the world benefits. Congratulations to Janet! xoxoAmy LVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16625469276544426664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5375684657483536810.post-18933868655819412212021-11-19T08:29:02.789-06:002021-11-19T08:29:02.789-06:00All such wonderful news, Irene.
