Friends, Cow Pies, and Books. I am eclectic, yo.
First, the good news. I heard from fansee! She had a bad fall at the end of October, must have been right after she posted. She got scraped up, banged her head and wrenched her midsection. Of course, in typical fansee fashion, she characterized that as "nothing really serious." It's kept her out of commission, but she did ask that I relay the info to everyone and says she misses us.
In what *might potentially be good news*, I got my ticket for Cow Pie Bingo!! It's... pretty much exactly like it sounds. A pasture has been divided into an online grid. Each little section of grid is for sale. On a designated date and time, two cows (at Happily Ever Esther Farm Sanctuary) are released into the pasture. The first poop that lands in the pasture will be coordinated with the grid and whoever has that spot on the grid wins the prize! (You can even watch the whole thing via Zoom!)
The cheapest ticket is $25, and the prize is pretty fabulous. Aside from some virtual events and merchandise that probably only a supporter of HEEFS would love, THE WINNER GETS A TRIP FOR TWO TO TORONTO, 5 DAYS/4 NIGHTS HOTEL ACCOMODATION, CAR RENTAL, AND $500 SPENDING MONEY, along with a private tour of HEEFS. I'm assuming the hotel would be in Toronto because it's the closest big city.
Which is my way of saying that EVERYONE SHOULD GET A TICKET because the trip alone is a great prize, and the money is going to an amazing group of people who love animals.
In case I convinced you, the link is here!
Lastly, I read another book and forgot to post about it. Teensy review:
87. The Umbrella Conspiracy by S.D. Perry
First in a series of books based on the Resident Evil video games. Since I only know the movies, it was interesting getting to know Jill and Chris. I have no idea how accurate these are to the games, but I enjoyed the storyline. Surprisingly light on zombie action, though.
