Another group I participate in actually has a section for "coincidences" such as searching for a book that describes a vacation and then coincidentally reading three books in a row where the characters suddenly take a vacation trip.
Congrats on your victory.
Way to go Jonquil!! I can't believe you are done already!!That happens all the time to me too Rosa!!
if I can't find migrate by the due date can I use migrating?
Yes - migrating would work Denise!
would you take the italian word for lagoon 'laguna' for my carry-over from the Bolivia word-search?
Yes Rosa! I'll take that. Did you find that in the Venice book???
