Why I am a HUGE "Downton Abbey" Fan...

Tonight begins the end of a 6 year run for PBS's popular TV drama, "Downton Abbey." I, like others, am a HUGE Downton Abbey 'FAN'---and I am saddened to see the 'Aristocratic drama' come to an end. That said, I will particularly miss the wit, wisdom, and charm of the "Dowager Countess" portrayed by the incomparable "Dame Maggie Smith;" my favorite character on the show. However, the entire cast is to be commended for allowing the "FANS" a sneak peak into greatness!

Thank you, Mr. Julian Fellowes (creator and writer) of Downton Abbey--- and PBS (WTTW-channel 11) for 6 glorious seasons! The writing was superb; the acting top-notch; and the historically themed costumes were gorgeous in every episode---to which the designer is to be commended for the achievement of painstaking detail to the Victorian era. The end result--- the world is beneficiaries of "Smart" "Sophisticated" "Quality" TV programming!!!

Author's Note...

This is yet another TRUE STORY. Two years ago today, I wrote the attached poem with a heavy heart. In fact, as I recall, I was in a rather daunting space---having just buried my mom two weeks prior.  Isn't life funny---just when you think you are at your weakest point in life you learn that it's your strongest point---when you learn to lean on the Lord!

The Perfect Gift...

Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised (as I was feeling quite sad) due to all the "holiday" hoopla in the office. You see, I'm normally a very confident, positive, and upbeat individual---but I allowed my thoughts to wander down a path where I began to think more and more about my mom's passing two years ago, and how she and the family adored Christ Day; I guess you could say "I was having a moment." Nonetheless, several hours later, I would receive word from my publishing company that my debut book of poems went LIVE on AMAZON...

In Loving Memory to my mom (who adored holidays and entertaining)...

Needless to say, I'm so very thrilled! Additionally, I know that mom watches over me and she probably nudged one of the angels demanding him to send something nice to her middle daughter for Christ Day.

Thanks, Fatty! "Merci Beaucoup"... (Je t'aime)... -:)
