About Me

My Photo
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.

While He Lay Dying . . .

Please take a moment and read about Spc. Robert S. Pugh, who
died Mar. 2 in Iskandariyah, Iraq, when an improvised explosive device detonated near his military vehicle.
While Spc. Pugh lay dying, he directed others to save the life of Sergeant 1st Class Curtis Martin, who was injured in the same explosion.

What a heroic man.

And thank God for men like Robert Shane Pugh.
