Read Daniel Oliver's Review of "Hail Mary" in Late Last Night Books latelastnightbooks.com/2019/09/30/hail-mary-by-patti-liszkay/ A Month In The Magic Messy Kingdom Last month through the cloud of the COVID-19 epidemic there shown for Tom and I a silver lining when our daughter and son-in-law arrived from Los Angeles with our two grand daughters to spend four weeks quarantining with us here in Ohio. For some time my daughter and I had been ping-ponging the idea of her family taking a break from sheltering at home to spend some of the summer sheltering with us. But the idea remained mostly an unformed daydream that neither of us really believed would come true until the beginning of June when my daughter informed me that they'd decided to make it happen. And so they packed up the necessities and in the wee hours of Tuesday, June 9, began their cross-country drive - flying being out of the question during the epidemic - and three days later arrived in Columbus in the wee hours of Friday, June 12. And by the following day our quiet old ordinary suburban house and yard had been transformed into a magic kingdom, ...with a seemingly endless variety of diversions, ...where every day was Anything Can Happen Day, ...and where one never knew what one would discover in a closet or drawer, ...or clothes hamper, ...or upon entering a room. They were days of wonder, ...joy, ...and sometimes wondrous mess. To be continued...

Hi, Chris! Oh, there was usually some messy art project going on most days. In the first picture they were just painting. In the second one Theresa was, I believe, making some slime with them. I hope yu and your family are well and healthy,
