I'm deviating from important Home Inspection business to offer this public service announcement. If, like many of us, you are struggling with what to get your mom or wife for Mother's Day, here's an great solution: if she loves to read, pick up a copy of my wife's book, Once a Prompt a Time. It's a one-of-a-kind collection of short stories, and it's likely she'll be the only one on her block to have one (until SHE spreads the word about how great it is). Here's the easy peasy link to buy, with delivery well before Mother's Day. Laurie would be happy to provide an autograph. Just send me a message with your address and she will mail you a personalized bookplate. And feel free to share this message with anyone else experiencing the usual seasonal struggle.
