I'll confess, I use the word lovely (although the word Glee is by far my most often used word), but have used it more since my friendship with Kate and Steve...and every time I do, I think of them. Seriously, one of the loveliest couples around! But maybe it's simply my Irish roots showing! <br /><br />And thanks for picking up the book! I hope you like it! Uh, you'll find some Guinness mentioned in it!! My characters tend to drink it a lot! <br /><br />HollyHollyJacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05976828070256110899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-47270921667926689122013-07-03T13:07:26.219+01:002013-07-03T13:07:26.219+01:00Hi Kate and Holly,
Holly, I just grabbed your boo...Hi Kate and Holly,<br /><br />Holly, I just grabbed your book on Amazon, so thank you for that.<br /><br />Holly, as an Irish woman, I love my Guinness although as I live far away from Ireland and the western world, I don't get to have it very much. Kate has Irish connections and I know that many of us Irish use the word 'lovely' quite frequently. You give an Irish person some good news and the reply will probably be a delighted exclamation 'lovely'. It's lovely to see you over here, Holly and I look forward to reading your books in future.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09977676093756206414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-83993418262275820642013-07-03T10:56:58.960+01:002013-07-03T10:56:58.960+01:00Mary, What lovely memories...and lovely lessons.

It was embossed with a man in a doghouse and the words, "I'm sorry." Underneath it, he wrote..."Maybe." I laughed so hard I couldn't stay mad!

Watching...It doesn't sound silly to me either.<br /><br />Watching my parents I saw gestures of love all day long. My Father would always wash up the breakfast dishes. My Mother would make his favorite desserts. A hand resting on an arm. A warm smile.... <br /><br />For 66 years they lived and loved.

He's also very generous and knows how to get into my good books. He's always giving me small gifts - nromally by giving me stationary. It's a sure fire way to make me feel chuffed to bits!

I also remember the great Knackered Debate. I just have to think of the word and the smile begins ~ it gives me glee. <br /><br />I think the small things my husband does are wonderful as well. I haven't been sleeping well lately. this morning I was up really early and then slipped back to bed. My husband let me sleep in ~ such bliss as I actually feel rested. I already have your books Holly but I haven't read them yet. I haven't been reading much lately.

I had so much fun explaining to people that you, me and Donna were three women of different ages, and different countries of origin...who were twins. Three twins. Uh, I don't think my explanation explained much!

We apparently are the exceptions to the "norm" today, and I'm enjoying the experience tremendously.Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22055731.post-32975859967377316232013-07-02T13:59:31.552+01:002013-07-02T13:59:31.552+01:00Try to remember but I don't have any "poo...Try to remember but I don't have any "poor brain" :(Eli Yantihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06207823134263812836noreply@blogger.com
