It sounds right up my alley. At my house we say "If this isn't nice, I don't know what is," which is a quote from a Kurt Vonnegut book, something his uncle used to say to make sure the simple moments were appreciated. I feel "Tolstoy lied," might work its way into our vocabulary as well.<br /><br />Pumpkin cornbread sounds delightful and I have never heard of it before!

Most of what I re...Punk, moving is a special case. Most of what I read these days is not deep and serious - I want a little escape from life! I recommend Mary Stewart (9 Coaches Waiting, Madam, Will You Talk? etc.) or anything by Georgette Heyer for escapism you don't need to blush about :)Margohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16345165456341197559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956538942392497830.post-51221562482563371122011-03-23T13:48:03.850-04:002011-03-23T13:48:03.850-04:00(typed while blushing) I just finished a mushy Reg...(typed while blushing) I just finished a mushy Regency romance impulsively purchased from the grocery store.
