My brain's not quite up to par these days - flu and no RDD with panadol and nourishing food at hand. Sigh. <i>Cough,cough.</i> <b>But</b>, before I start feeling sorry for myself I had better mention that I'm over at my parents' home and I just had a lovely bowl of my mom's <b>chicken fricassée with potatoes</b> (not "tiny new" ones but a very tasty variety). And "for dessert" I had a couple of candied ginger sticks. (Said to have all kinds of healing powers.)

This is #5 on my favorite Betty list. Love Henrietta. Bless her heart. What a hard life! Love Dickens and Ollie. Love Adam and how he helps her and how he is head over heels before he knows it. Such a good one.<br /><br />*Vicar's Daughter - Crying over the cradle... So moving.<br /><br />*****The Mistletoe Kiss - #6 on my favorite list! Love Emmy and Ruerd. The kiss under the mistletoe and the beach scene both give me goosebumps. Love it.<br /><br />*Love Can Wait - I'd rather marry James than cook!
