I promised Shell I would post a picture of the socks she knit for me. I am the green socks on the left. Cat posed with me, her pair of Shelli socks are on the right. We love them! Thank you Shell.

Dear, Dear Home!

Many tears were shed by them in their last adieus to a place so much beloved. "Dear, dear Norland!" said Marianne, as she wandered alone before the house, on the last evening of their being there; "when shall I cease to regret you! - when learn to feel a home elsewhere! - Oh! happy house, could you know what I suffer in now viewing you from this spot, from whence, perhaps, I may view you no more! - And you, ye well known trees! - but you will continue the same. No leaf will decay because we are removed, nor any branch become motionless although we can observe you no longer! - No; you will continue the same; unconscious of the pleasure or the regret you occasion, and insensible of any change in those who walk under your shade! - But who will remain to enjoy you?" - Jane Austen
