My life, without actively reading the myriad of books that Patti reads, went back to normal (that being trying to keep-active-on my websites).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 24pt; color: #0000ff;\">LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE..<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to last week, early April of year 2020, as she<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><em> loves-to-do<\/em><\/span>, Patti was reading a book. I looked over at Patti and sort of &#8216;idly&#8217; asked her, &#8220;What are you reading and is it interesting?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><em>Lightning was about to strike me again!<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Patti smiled and said..<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am reading a very interesting book called, &#8216;Where We Belong&#8217;, written by Emily Giffin. I found it on BookBub and downloaded it onto my Kindle Paperwhite.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Just in case (like me) you have no idea of what on earth BookBub is, just click onto the below link and find out.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/home\/about.php\">https:\/\/www.bookbub.com\/home\/about.php<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Again, as I did above back in November of 2017, I sidled over beside Patti. I took her Kindle into my hands and (she was in Chapter 8 of &#8216;Where We Belong&#8217;) began to read to Patti.<\/p>\n<p>And?<\/p>\n<p>For-the-very-life-of-me! I could not (figuratively speaking as it has 34 chapters) put-the-book-down.<\/p>\n<p>So that is where-I-have-been lately, reading this absolutely riveting book &#8216;Where We Belong&#8217;, to Patti. Because I began my reading at Chapter 8, I then &#8216;went back&#8217; into &#8216;Where We Belong&#8217; and &#8216;caught-up on the story line by reading Chapters 1 through 7. Because of the sudden appearance of this book, I have been away from \/ and idle on dot.net.<\/p>\n<p>And?<\/p>\n<p>That IS that (at least) for now. When I publish this Post, I will begin a Post on blogspot because I am also remiss there as well.<\/p>\n<p>Smiling .. Cap and Patti<\/p>\n<p>A promise made IS a debt unpaid.
