I really enjoyed talking with the man who wrote 'A Jane Austen Education: How Six Novels Taught Me About Love, Friendship, and the Things That Really Matter,' William Deresiewicz.

And with all that talent, you haven't posted another novel since your fertile period in 2005. I'm sure today's JAFF readers and your old followers would love to see anything new from you - is there a chance you will write again???<br /><br />photos again - hmm, wonder if I have time to put together a 'Regency' album of the 'babies' before September ... hmmm, if not, I guess I'll have to just stick them all in my reticule .. lolGranJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210882960535199976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-22697135888284315052012-06-11T05:48:46.865-04:002012-06-11T05:48:46.865-04:00oh I do love photos!

Once rented a big house at the beach and gathered all 5 kids and their 'attachments' (i.e., dogs, kids, spouses, 'mates', whatever) and we all scrapbooked during that week. Great fun.<br />anyway .. that was me getting off track again ... if you are drawing SS but not yet Medicare, bingo, we are both enjoying our later years!<br />back to grandbabies .. tomorrow I am riding with my darling daughter - who drove down to pick me up - back to Ky to officially meet my first great grandchild, Charlotte. I am VERY excited!<br />and finally, I am SOOO glad you and Robin are coming - I can hardly say how happy it makes me. I am checking into the hotel downtown for that weekend so I don't miss a thing. My DIL will be with me so we can all raze her about needing to be so pampered! but not too much, she's staying with me because I need a bit of TLC to get through long days now and she is a huge help ... guess we're both a bit spoiled!GranJanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210882960535199976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4078409689570875027.post-20627911253209339932012-06-11T04:20:16.160-04:002012-06-11T04:20:16.160-04:00I love that you, your daughter, and your daughter-...I love that you, your daughter, and your daughter-in-law all share the addiction, but I am also very envious of your spreadsheet.
