Responses to Myra’s Questions

1. Favorite breakfast.  I generally love breakfast, so this is hard. I just generally like pancakes and coffee.
2. Write the very first sentence in the book you are currently reading.“Max would never forget that faraway summer when, almost by chance, he discovered magic.” – Prince of Mist by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
