I’m loving Northanger Abbey, too. Jane Austen may be becoming my favorite author. It seems as though several other of her short stories/novellas are included in my copy of Northanger Abbey. Woo-hoo!

Late last night (well, early this morning), I finished Pride and Prejudice. I can now understand why such a work has such high regard. The language usage was lovely, the story was enjoyable, the themes of pride and forgiveness were well woven through the tale. Only a couple of times did Austen break out of…

Huh. Saturday was my one-year blog-iversary. Time flies.

Cheryl recently blogged about FlyLady.net. It looks as though they have a lot of good ideas on keeping housekeeping behind you instead of racing off ahead of you like mine usually does.

The couple sitting next to us at last night’s wine tasting recommended Johnson’s The World Atlas of Wine. We had a nice time. The food was spectacular. I tried new things: a spinach, artichoke, mushroom melted with cheese thing which I actually liked; I tried a greek olive, which I still didn’t like; and shrimp…

which children’s storybook character are you? this quiz was made by colleen Paddington is cool!

P.

This is a leading tenet of the Calvinistic believe in the sovereignty of God….
