Hi Panda! Aunt in Kansas here. *waves in roughly northerly direction* Just wanted to welcome you back to the midwest.
I've been having an enjoyable several minutes reading your latest blog entries, all while making soup. (Here's why I love making soup. You do all the prep work and put it in the pot, and then all the while it's simmering, you can be doing other things, like reading blogs, and yet you can rightly claim that you are, in fact, preparing dinner.)
Jane Austen's "Persuasion" is on Masterpiece (formerly Masterpiece Theatre) in less than an hour. Yay!
Must start corn muffins now.
And I had to leave one more comment because it says "1 comments" at the bottom, and that's going to bug me all night, so I will make it correctly plural.
No, I'm not related to anyone you know; why do you ask??? :)
