What a great post and as for D...Hello darling girl,<br />What a great post and as for Downton, all will be revealed! Keep watching and enjoying. Will you be seeing the Christmas special in the US also? Hope so, it tied up so many loose ends. <br /><br />As for that wonderful journal, I have not come across anything that wonderful yet. I am not sure I could sell it. Such an historical insight. I'm with you on the love of old documents. I daydream so much about the writer.<br /><br />No, our team did not win the superbowl, but what a great game. My favourite ad, which we don't see in the UK but I did watch online was the graduate thinking he got the car but infact it was a fridge. I howled with laughter at that.<br /><br />Thank you so much for all your support. You are such a star.<br />Much love<br />Di<br />XYONKShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02659751063643621817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-30413444714670568902012-02-06T23:23:48.216-05:002012-02-06T23:23:48.216-05:00Hi Elizabeth, well...so much to talk about. First...Hi Elizabeth, well...so much to talk about. First, yes I watched "Downton Abbey" and loved it! I agree with you about the burned man, I believe he is a fraud. I have a feeling that Matthew at the end of the show was regaining feeling in his legs...remember that the doctor in his diagnosis, said something like, "If I am right, he will never walk again..." A big if. <br />I never watch the Super Bowl and instead went to see "Hugo." Loved it! But we did record the half time show which was fun. <br />The journal you featured with all the sketches is so wonderful. It represents another way of life, when people were recording their experiences in such a leisurely and lovely way, through sketches. I have a book of Queen Victoria's sketches from when she was young. They are so charming.<br />Finally, my daughter had sent me the link for the photos of the cast of "Downton." and it was so much fun to see how they look in real life. The one that surprised me the most was O'Brien. What a difference between her on the show and in real life.<br />Have a wonderful week!<br />xx SundaySunday Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13148090705938196599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-54464514302125363442012-02-06T13:42:49.454-05:002012-02-06T13:42:49.454-05:00Good Morning Dear Friend!!!
First of all, thank yo...Good Morning Dear Friend!!!<br />First of all, thank you so much for visiting me...yes, I really hope we will be able to see each other in Wisconsin! The day with Anita was magical, as always, and we were talking about how wonderful it would be to bring together dear blogger friends!<br />This post is so fabulous, Elizabeth. First of all, these diaries, wow. How I would love to just peruse them for an afternoon..<br />And thank you for the link to those photos, oh my, how fun! You are right, I never would have recognized some of them:))What a little lipstick and high heels can do! I actually will be starting the series from the beginning on Netflix, because I have not been watching every week. But what I have seen, I have LOVED!<br />And I really wish for a happily ever after for Bates...<br />Another warm day for us here...(no crocuses though)..colder temps are on the way. <br />Have a beautiful week, sweet friend!<br />xoxo,<br />- IrinaPalomaseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657973188175649386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-48009587678043546572012-02-06T10:09:47.982-05:002012-02-06T10:09:47.982-05:00Thank you for posting the Downton Abbey article. ...Thank you for posting the Downton Abbey article. i can't believe how different and modern they all look!!! I am so addicted to this show, it's ridiculous, but I do wonder sometimes if I am watching Dallas, with some of the plots!

What a wonderful gift to have left behind.

I love Bates and want him and Anna to live happily ever after!<br />What an amazing journal. I wish I could paint, it would be fun to create a similar journal with occasional water color art to enhance it. Wow! I've visited a lot of antique stores and never seen anything as lovely. I did inherit a book of art from my great grandmother and have framed some of the drawings for use in my home. I tried to investigate the artist, not sure if he was family or friend of our family, to no avail.<br />Karen at Garden, Home and Party dot comKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08064699521293763744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9010931580827952387.post-23898657054598430152012-02-06T07:16:05.159-05:002012-02-06T07:16:05.159-05:00OK, I HAVE GOT TO FIND THIS SOMEHOW because I LOVE...OK, I HAVE GOT TO FIND THIS SOMEHOW because I LOVE LOVE LOVE British mysteries and thrillers and comedies and the whole lot of them!

And what a journel! Just beautiful.....next Sunday. This Sunday it was all about the Superbowl and yea Giants, they got the job done (I sound like a major football fan, which I so am not) You asked about my knee, took a bad fall about 3 days ago, Teddy had a round hard bone left on the floor and I slipped on it and becuase I was wearing hard soled clogs, didnt' feel it and fell really hard on the stone floors right on my knee. It was really hurting but today feeling a little better, thanks for asking!!The enchanted homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03417949320717832732noreply@blogger.com
