Marianne and Lisa both tagged me a little over a week ago, but the approaching holiday & travel preparations had me a little busy and then i was away for a few days. i am just now getting caught up again.

i'll start with Marianne's tag.

"Atta boy."

the title of the book:
The Summons

John Grisham

the three people i tag:
Andie (who i haven't tagged in quite a while)

and now for Lisa's tag.
