Another big ledger from Lysa is call off Uninvited . I ’ve recently listen to the audio version during a road trip all the way through . My elbow room of thinking about myself was whip into shape . It ’s a good one to learn out as well .
AND, IF KRISTA WOKE UP TOMORROW, ACQUIRED 10 ACRES AND $1000, WHAT WOULD SHE DO?
She ’d fence off the land area to use for graze heifer ( young female that have not yet had a sura ) .
The money would be used to revamp the doors and windows on the milk house .
