A big thank you to everyone who had notified me that you were not getting the daily email from Book Basset. We have (when I say “We”, I really mean hubby. Lets face it, I have no clue what hubby is talking about when he speaks computer) discovered what the issue is and everyone should be getting their emails now. I post every day about three to four times a day, so you should always expect to see something from me. I will not always show up on Facebook though because even if you “Like” Book Basset, Facebook only shows my posts to about 1 or 2% of those who follow Book Basset. Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me over the years and listened to my crazy rants. This continues to truly be a fun experience for me.
