I found you by following the Peanut Gallery link! I'm also using time following those links... so easy to become obsessed!
ReplyDeleteI currently have your book on hold and am looking forward to reading it, by the way. I recently learned that I have some Scattergoods in my ancestry, way back in the 1700s in New Jersey! So maybe we are very very distant cousins!
Thanks for your comment, Sondy. Yes, I'm still following that Battle of the Books-- and enjoying.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly could be a cousin (of my husband's). They also started in NJ, way back when.
