Update:
I was dragging a bit today. The shoulder is acting up and making sleep an obstacle to get through. I didn't check my mail yesterday, so I walked out today and found ...
and inside ... wrapped beautifully ...
was the book, new to me ...
A whimsical book that would appeal to kids, adults and me. I am almost finished with a wonderful, architectural book ...
but I started reading my new book from dear friend and artist, Carrol, and before I knew it I had read the entire lovely book.
Wonderful illustrations and such a soulful text that made me sigh and re-read.

As I was lying in bed pondering the problems of the world,
I rapidly realized that I don't really give a rat's hiney.
It’s the tortoise life for me!
1. If walking is good for your health, the postman would be immortal.
2. A whale swims all day, only eats fish, drinks water, and is fat.
3. A rabbit runs and hops and only lives 15 years.
4. A tortoise doesn't run and does nothing, yet it lives for 450 years.
And you tell me to exercise? I don't think so.
I'm retired. Go around me.

Hi Jacki,
I have to give credit for the book to another good friend who handed it to me and said that I would enjoy it and could read it to my grandchildren. When I saw all the clever and wonky art and the beautiful story, you were the person who had to receive it. I hope you will pass it on to someone who is special to you.
You must have worked out a way to get 30 hours in a day because I don't know how you come up with a beautiful piece of art every single day.
Your photo looks like Emily Blunt. Love what you did with it. We all can breathe a collective sign of relief today. :-)
You were the absolute BEST teacher! “Well, they’re no Jacki, but...” comes out of my mouth before A LOT of other comments! 😉😂💜💜
