I’ve never heard of “The Magic Strings of Frankie Presto”! I’ll have to check it out.
I’ve never read Project Sweet Life, but it sounds hilarious!
Hi Kaye,
I love Jane Austin books, I think Pride and Prejudice is so funny to read (and watch) I also had a hard time reading Lord of the Flies. I sure enjoy your sweet personality and friendship.
