I guess I just need to have pie at lunch! ;)

I just saw peach pie at a rest stop but am too full from breakfast to get it.

I'm up, I'm up - actually I was up just before eleven when the doorbell rang - flowers for li'l ol' me, from Julie Kirgo - what a sweet thing to do.

My five free hardcovers arrived - with the matte finish covers but it actually doesn't look terrible.  The new stuff will be here next week.

Yesterday my new credit card arrived as promised and I spent some time updating all my imbedded accounts. Hopefully, all of them. My new card number should now be well and truly memorized. I used the new card today to buy lunch and it works. Hopefully, that is the end of it.

Oh, my old card had a cute photo of a marmalade cat on it. The new one does, too, but a different marmalade cat and a different pose. Different cat model, I guess. Much more fun than the standard blah card.

Yesterday, from DR Elmore:

DR Jeanne, I think you should write off your credit card charge as a charitable deduction.
-------------------

An excellent idea!  :)  I wish my accountants were so creative.

Well, as seems to always be the case, there's a problem with the book - hopefully they haven't printed or shipped my real order - we send them a LOCKED PDF so they cannot change anything or add anything save for the copyright and ISBN information.  And yet some moron added the subtitle on the cover of the book "An Adriana Hofstetter Mystery" to the title page - it was not there on what we sent and yet they added it - and MISSPELLED Adriana with two n's.  So, not having THAT.  Hopefully, they'll correct in the morning and get the new files where they're going.

Thank you.  As much as we miss the beauty of Ashland, and of course our friends, it is nice to be home.

I am being driven bonkers  by Amazon it won't let  me sign in unless I give them theexpiration date of my Amazon credit card.  But since I have it linked to my Amazon account and don't use it for anything else I didn't retain the physical card.

And every time I try to use the help or contact us button it insists I sign in
