Happy Thursday, welcome to this weekly edition of A Note From Your Publisher! We hope you are having a wonderful week.
Today, April 11th is the last day to get a discount on tickets to Jurassic Quest in Roanoke, you can learn more here. Yesterday, I had my first ever experience of being bitten by a snake. Our family friends have a 17 year old Ball Python (Buddy) who decided to make me his lunch. He latched onto my cheek and didn't let go for approximately 5 minutes. It startled me but didn't hurt as much as I thought it would. Before Buddy, I never would have been that close to a snake, but I had opened up with him. I thought he was sweet until today. HAHA! I'm sure I spooked him somehow. So far I am being told he is fine. Definitely an interesting day to say the least.
Have a wonderful week and thank you for being loyal subscribers & sponsors.
