As I said in the post, I don't read humor although I love laughing and know how healthy that is for me. But many of those who read my blog probably do like humorous books and so Fran's may be the perfect fit for them.

You started work on it last year and got a lot of encouragement, but health and other concerns intervened. I, too, am having problems with getting my writing done. And now that spring has come, the garden calls you I"m sure. For myself, I'm trying to begin to walk regularly again and to follow blogs and to catch up on what got ignored for several weeks. So let's encourage one another.
