About Me

Name:
Location: United States

I'm also a usually quiet, reserved Lady, who enjoys books, tea, baking, and movies! I spend most of my time reading one of my favorite books or wishing I was reading my favorite books. My Grand Passion is history, particularly the Regency Period in England, when Jane Austen wrote, Lord Nelson defeated the French Fleet at Trafalgar, the Duke of Wellington defeated Napoleon, and men were Gentlemen and women Ladies. I cherish the thought of being a Lady and love manners, being proper, and having proper tea. My favorite tea is Twinings, especially Earl Grey or Prince of Wales. My specialty to make is Scones with Devon Cream. I am a Catholic and a Conservative.

"Pope Seeks Renunciation of Hatred on 9/11"

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy - Pope Benedict XVI marked the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks Sunday, calling for a global renunciation of hatred and for men and women to build a world of justice and peace.

Benedict noted the fourth anniversary of the attacks during his traditional Sunday greeting to the tourists and faithful gathered in the courtyard of the papal summer palace at Castel Gandolfo, in the Alban hills south of Rome.

"Today, 11 September, we remember the victims of terrorist violence throughout the world," Benedict said in English. "May God inspire men and women of goodwill everywhere to renounce hatred and to build a world of justice, solidarity and peace."
