I actually thought she looked prettier before the "fix-up"!!  True, it was really wild and horrid looking, but she didn't look at all pretty with that tight, pulled-back style.  If the other had just been smoothed over a bit, it would have been a big improvement.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBIN!!!


Lots of good wishes for a healthy and happy year!!

Me Six!!  I can't believe the amount of work you must be putting into this.  Thank you!!

Well, I've got a three-way tie amongst the conjuring of Angelique, Grandmama meeting Barnabas, and Judith reading the will with Barnabas and Angelique in the tower just behind, so this was extremely difficult!!  I finally went for the conjuring of Angelique.

I was tempted to go with Magda and Sandor or Barnabas meeting Magda.  Those two are wonderful and definitely set the scene for this storyline.  However, I love Laura's appearance at the school and how she speaks to Trask, so I had to go with that.

Well, the summoning of Edward really seems to me to be a follow-up of the will reading and I'm not sure what else is meant by Judith revels in her position, so in a way I think of all 3 of those as one big one.  However, the main scene of all that was the will reading, and it really was special, so I went with that.

All along I was assuming I'd go with Barnabas and Angelique in the Tower Room - it's certainly a wonderful confrontation.  However, when it came down to it, I went with Barnabas meeting Grandmama.

That seems a bit more to the actual point of the story.  And, from the time we meet these people, all we hear about is the "secret" and she has to live long enough to tell Edward and can't tell anyone else.  Everyone assumes it has to do with money, and then Barnabas walks in and she says, "You're the secret!"  It's priceless!!  And then, the whole follow-up with Edward coming just at that moment, but then she's unable to stay lucid long enough to tell him.

What is the Eastern Standard Time that it is showing now? I thought I was only one hour later and have already been getting it at 9:00 am.

It's currently 10:00 a.m. Eastern and that's what the week of December shows will be.  So, it's moving two hours earlier.  I assume other time zones will do the same, but don't know about that.
