Happy Monday, friends. When I saw this image, I had the strongest urge to wander down that highway. Created in Canva I hope everyone is doing okay today. It's been somewhat of a quiet week here last week so I don't have a lot to share.

A fun stop on the next blog tour with Barb Taub. She provides great tips on how to be a kid detective, as well as a superb review of Amanda in Ireland: The Body in the Bog. Pop on over and be prepared to be entertained. Thank you so much, Barb! Barb Taub is an awesome humour writer. When I'm having a bad day, I read from one of her books, and my frown turns upside down.
