@Katt...does that make sense? typically this challenge falls within the US July 4th holiday and the Christmas/New Year holidays...so the romantic getaway date gives all of us (especially Kat) some breathing room around these times when people are celebrating and/or away from home.

Hi Katt...
actually, don't worry about fixing this one or posting it on the SHR thread...this book was already claimed. 🙁
hey team...just checking in...how is everyone's week going? for those of us Americans, are you ready for the holiday weekend?! 🎇🎆🧨🗽
☘Kٳ� wrote: "one more thing, Katt, please post both your first book on the SHR thread"It seriously took me this long to figure out the posting with links. I'll take care of that.

I'm ready to be off until the 11th. I have no real plans until vacation next week so I'm going to enjoy just hanging out and doing nothing for a few days. My husband works until the 4th so it's definitely going to just be chill time. We will go to some friends Sunday night for fireworks and hang out time.

Is anyone breaking out the magnifying glass for the elusive button? After checking out the Scavenger Hunt page, I didn't think there were any more to find.
