Good morning, members! How are we all doing on this beautiful Friday morning? Can you believe another week has come and gone? Also, it’s the last day of June, and we’re about to leap into July! Time sure knows how to sprint, doesn’t it? But hey, every end has a new beginning, and the team and I (Vella) are excited to be leaping into the weekend with you, hopefully with a good book and a cuppa… Or perhaps a thriller movie? Either way, we hope you have a great time!

Before we get into the nitty-gritty, let’s see if your brain’s awake yet. Here’s your third and final riddle of the week.

If your uncle’s sister is not your aunt, what relation is she to you?
