A Cross Patch Day Made Right

A Cross Patch Day Made Right

What do you get when you cross a cloudy, damp, chilly day with three lively ladies, coffee, and snickerdoodles? Well, you get a cozy critique, of course.

The rain had stopped by time for the critique but I doubt rain, sleet, or snow would have stopped Peg and Jane from trudging through the November day.

Jane read a Christmas poem she did for the Presbyterian Women’s Christmas brunch, A Thorn Tree for Christmas. This was a memory poem about a special time with her mother and a small tree which was turned into a festive Christmas adornment. She also read a second poem to us, a work in progress. Jane’s poems are always good.

What can make a usually punctual lady late for an important meeting like a critique? Only one thing I can think of: she was engrossed in a cozy mystery. Etched in Tears by Cheryl Hollon was the name of the book that made Peg forget the clock.

Peg has lately read two other mysteries, a Christmas cozy, Not a Creature Was Purring by Krista Davis, and A Deadly Eclair by Daryl Wood Gerber.

Jane and Peg were most helpful with tips on how to improve The Ghost of Moonlight Past by Blanche Day Manos. This will be the third in the Ned McNeil moonlight series.

By the time the critique ended, the dark, gloomy day had brightened considerably. That’s the way with the Cozy Critters!
