Seeing that those of you in the northeast are in the midst of snow (again!) takes me back to when I went to college in Iowa. Brrr!<\/p>\n<p>My computer monitor conked out yesterday, which, as you would guess, was a hassle. I always get my husband&#8217;s or son&#8217;s hand-me-down computer components, so I now have my husband&#8217;s mammoth-size monitor. (He ordered a new one for himself.) I actually have had to move my new monitor over toward the wall so I can still keep an eye on <em>my<\/em> birds outside. We now have a Cardinal pair who are making our Goldfinch feeder their choice of feeding places. I&#8217;m really enjoying them &gt;&gt;&gt; probably a whole lot more than the tiny Goldfinches are enjoying their company!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Getting-Old-Murder-Dell-Mystery\/dp\/0440242584\/ref=tmm_mmp_title_0?tag=httpwwwmarkes-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-21668 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cozy-mystery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/gladdy111111111111111111jopfgjao0g-e1426878510928.jpg\" alt=\"Getting Old Is Murder by Rita Lakin\" width=\"180\" height=\"296\" \/><\/a>I just started a book by one of my very favorite Cozy Mystery authors: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cozy-mystery.com\/Rita-Lakin.html\"><strong>Rita Lakin<\/strong><\/a>.
