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.

Merry Christmas from the RNC

I'm glad to see an actual "Merry Christmas," rather than "Happy Holidays" from the RNC. I received this (mass) e-mail from Ken Mehlman, chairman of the RNC:

Dear Jane,

As we celebrate the holidays, I wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, and Happy New Year from all of us at the Republican National Committee. We hope the spirit of Christmas remains with all of us throughout 2006.

We are especially grateful to the men and women who serve this country so courageously overseas. These American heroes, far from home, are fighting the enemies of freedom and keeping our country safe at home. We recognize their sacrifice as they help win the War on Terror. We hope they know how proud we are of them.

During the holiday season we take the time to reflect on an historic year of accomplishment. The strength of our cause is built on the dedication of each and every Republican across this country, and we look forward to another great year ahead. May the joy of the season bring you renewed happiness on this day and everyday throughout the New Year.

Merry Christmas!

Ken Mehlman
Chairman, Republican National Committee
