May I present Mr. Sheldon P. Boximus? You must forgive him for not introducing himself. He is a rather shy and retiring sort of chap!

ReplyDeleteI spent some time today looking at your blog and I think it is absolutely LOVELY! I love reading your well-thought out posts, especially the one you wrote in June of 08, about "Lessons in Love from Jane Austen", and of course, I loved your courtship story!! :-D (Many congratulations!!! :-D )
