| More string blocks made for Grassy Creek |
Books:
My favorite listen of the month was: In the Shadow of the Greenbrier by Emily Matchar. Who knew that foreign diplomats at the beginning of WWII were housed in an inn? My favorite read of the month was: The Mysterious Bakery on Rue de Paris by Evie Woods. Likely being in Paris when I read this book had an impact on my decision!
