A loyal reader who prefers you do not know that she reads "smut" has anonymously submitted the following for our consideration in the Aged Stitcher Count.

Invitation to Provence by Elizabeth Adler, 2004.

Our intrepid reader gives us this further context, "The idea that she would pull together a sampler welcoming someone else to town (even if it is the town's founding family) on short-ish notice (ok, she had two months) is just absurd." Indeed it is, Intrepid Reader, indeed it is. But I like the idea of having wildly spiraling grey hair. I may cultivate the look.

Anna-no the everyday, every day thing did not offend me, I should have proof read it before hitting publish. My pet peeve is alot, it's supposed to be "a lot". Drives me nuts!
Thanks for the all support regarding FG. I've needed it more than you know.
I'm glad you found the dog. The sidebar was gone. I've started putting it back and now it's at the bottom. Theoretically, I know how to fix it. It's just that there's so much stuff to do--like get all my links back--that I'm too daunted to work on it like I should.
