I do love your News & Notes Lark! I think it’s interesting that they’re doing a live action movie of Christopher Robin grown up. I wonder how it will turn out, I’m going to have to keep that movie in mind and keep checking up on it as it progresses.

Thank you for posting even when you’re swamped! I never read Beverly Jenkins and since I’m exploring HF I should give her a try to enrich my reading pool with Reconstruction Period titles.
Nice saying and image above too: I’m currently switching up between English Breakfast/Irish Breakfast/Red Rose and Jasmine Green tea (after my 2 cups of coffee early in the a.m.)!![My Profile](https://8nv619.a2cdn1.secureserver.net/wp-content/plugins/commentluv/images/littleheartplus.png)
