I don't know why taxes need to be needlessly complicated as it is (well, yes I do, it's to create loopholes for people who make a lot of money to use to their advantage). <br /><br />Lovely knitting! My wife has just gotten back into knitting, so I've been seeing a lot of stuff like yours around the house. :)C.D.

We loved it. When I heard there were more books, I asked if we could go to the library the next day but she said it was too scary for my sister (she was probably right - a year or so later, Clare walked into the room during the Katherine Howard episode of The Six Wives of Henry VIII and had nightmares for years) and possibly me too. Nothing daunted, I got The Fellowship of the Ring out of my school library and hid it in a desk drawer at school, reading it whenever we were given free time. The rotten teacher ratted me out on parent-teacher night!<br /><br />Larkspur sounds great. I like books set right before WWI.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-74426151695397051872024-03-05T04:12:14.992-05:002024-03-05T04:12:14.992-05:00Thank you!
