Your German relatives are obviously cut from the same cloth.<br /><br />Hi Nan - Glad Irene didn't do you too much harm. Amen on your comment on the Middlemarch quotation.

The ones you'll never read about but who really should be the subject of more news and magazines. It might change everyone's view of the world if we heard more about them, and less about the sleazy, criminal types. <br />I still haven't read the Alaska posts, but plan to take a morning this fall and travel on up there. <br />Heard a little bit of a nice report on Pittsfield today. I've only been in that area a couple times in my life.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10709507.post-16165966202537897612011-09-01T20:21:59.559-04:002011-09-01T20:21:59.559-04:00I thought I commented to this already, but I may h...I thought I commented to this already, but I may have just dreamed that. <br /><br />Alas, geography is not everyone's strong suit, though those of us who have inquired about you and yours also know Vermont is not a big state. However, we regularly get 10 calls from Germany every time the German news reports a tornado outbreak.<br /><br />In Kansas or Oklahoma.<br /><br />I'm glad you're well.<br /><br />Cheers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
