inspiration

Jamie - unbelievable... total delight... joy of our hearts... what else can I say? We just adore this beautiful, sweet little doll. Here she is yesterday enjoying the sunshine on an estate that belonged to Jane Austen's family! We had a wonderful tour, and heard lots of stuff about the inspiration for Jane Austen's novels!

It reminded me of feelings I had in Israel so many years ago, or in England just a few years ago when Caitlin surprised us by taking us to places where George MacDonald had been! Yes, haven't I been good? This is the first time I've mentioned George MacDonald! Probably not the last...
