A Lady's Ruminations

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.

Busy August

I shall be gone again until sometime late Wednesday, so posting will be light or non-existent. I apologize for being gone so often and posting so lightly. August is always such a busy month, with lots of visits, trips, and excursions before summer ends and school starts again!

So, in the meantime, please visit these excellent blogs:

Woman Honor Thyself
A Rose By Any Other Name
Blue Star Chronicles
Mad Minerva
Stop the ACLU
Coalition Against Illegal Immigration

Participate in the Three Things Meme or the Very Selective Book Meme (I bet you can guess my favorite book).

AND, go see Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest! Really: it is super and funny.

Plus, we all should see Oliver Stone's World Trade Center.

Finally, here are some of the photos I took during my train trip home last Thursday. We went right along the Puget Sound before going through the foothills of the Cascade Mountain Range, and then into the mountains (it was too dark for anything by then):
