HWC's 30 Day Challenge

[HandledWithCare]

I noticed one thing a few pages later in the book where it mentions the truck smelling of "tobacco, gasoline and peppermint" and it struck me as something very accurate. Both my father and uncle have old trucks that smell exactly like this. Before this August I hadn't seen either of them for almost ten years. The first time I read this book, that sentence went unneeded since I'd long since forgotten that smell. Now that it means something I appreciate the description. I am determined to finish chapter 1 and maybe 2 tonight.

Good luck! If I finished 2 chapters of David Copperfield, you can do it.

Well I'm keeping up without too much struggle. I'm through chapter two and half into three as of now. I have a hard time "relating" to Bella, a girl who has boys fighting over her even though she's clumsy, frumpy--by her own admission--and has the personality of a nauseous warthog. If only I'd known to be clumsy and rude to everyone I'd be married by now! Anyway, doing well without caffeine and still getting decent amounts of walking in. I am enjoying knowing that I'm actually doing something I don't have to, challenging myself for fun.

The farm is good and my rooster I wasn't sure about seems to have made an almost 100% recovery. I've been praying for poor old Roosty ever since his unfortunate and accidental encounter with the "rooster stick" we have. We use it as a barrier but on Wednesday my friend panicked and let it get out of her hand. Wouldn't you know it flew and whacked him right in the head. He started flipping around like he was dead and she felt so bad. He's in the hospital pen right now but in just a few days seems almost back to himself, if a little timid. The hens are eager for the return of their only man.

I never heard of that method to get a man! If I wasn't already married, maybe I would try it!
