There were mysteries aplenty in my neighborhoods, I just never really solved any. Ahh, Jennifer, one needs nothing more :-) Except maybe Dutch. I do sort of like him. Oh, and chocolate? Yep, that's it. Larramie, it's a lovely wish, thank you :x (I think that's a kiss smiley?). Okay, wait, Mia, I think you might just have changed my mind about having kids. You mean you can put them to work wherever you want?! And yes, Eileen, my contented sighs seem to be the same when I walk through either of those doors. And I so love being around all you people who feel the same way. Tish, I was sure I WAS Trixie Belden! There were mysteries aplenty in my neighborhoods, I just never really solved any.

I used to dream of having a bookstore, with all the requisite animals and comfy chairs ... reading your post reminds me of that!

What more could a person need? Great post, Kristy. I was right there with you, having my hand licked by the dog. (A much more affectionate creature than a turtle!)

I forget the exact title, but my favorite was The Mystery off Glen Road or something-ish. I wanted to be Trixie, I even wanted to look like Trixie (possibly the only reader with that wish!) Great post, even if I am allergic to the bookstore cat. You loved Trixie Belden? I forget the exact title, but my favorite was The Mystery off Glen Road or something-ish.
