Stacey,
You’ve encouraged sooo much ~Thank-you for that!
If you met me you might be surprised how laid back I am.
But some things can get me very exercised. Ha ha!!
Btw, my maiden name “Reese” means ardent in Welsh.
Funny how those things are……
Never met Beth either…but you described who I know her to be from blogging around here, very well.
I love that about her.
And I love this wordy thing about you! And your Tickle Tuesday! How cool ~ kids love that kind of thing!
I am feeling inspired…
I will be using ardent here shortly. No. I am not telling you how. Something real personal with The Farmer.
So, no reports!

. Surely you know the line, “You must allow me to tell you how ardently I admire and love you.”, right? You HAVE to be a Pride and Prejudice girl….Anyway, I love the way Darcy uses the word. Okay. It’s nearly midnight. I’ve GOT to go to bed. Night!:)
Tickle Tuesdays sound like so much fun! yay for laughter and joy!
@ToLiveLoved - Ha! I haven’t and I want to and I’ve had more than one person say that! Love the line…so I am a Pride and Predjudice girl afterall!
