Many congratulations on your awards Darlene, and thank you very much for the nomination! I was most amused to find that you dress up as Jane Austen for Halloween parties, I wonder what she would make of that. :-)

Congratulations on your award!! Very deserved. We always love seeing you online. Thanks for the nomination – it means a lot to those of us who put our writing out in cyberspace not knowing if it will be read. Thank you for reading!

Thank you, that’s sweet and lovely of you!
I enjoyed learning more about you — cool that you have an aunt that close to you in age! I’m going to cheat a little and answer the questions here in my comment.
Seven things: 1. I’ve just become hooked on Downton Abbey. 2. I have a toy otter on one of my bookshelves. 3. I used to own 3 or 4 copies of the books “Karen” and “With Love from Karen” by Marie Killilea. 4. I have photos of London taken by a Hungarian hanging on my walls. 5. I love dragonflies. 6. I also love penguins. 7. I have sung in at least 14 choirs.
Sweets: (I can’t eat them any more, but if I could, this is how I would answer.) 1. Cake. 2. Chocolate. 3. Ginger chocolates. 4. When I see new flavors of things, and can’t try them. 5. Sweetie.
Thanks again!

Thanks for telling me all those wonderful things about you. Downton Abbey is so good isn’t it. I am so sorry that you can’t eat sweets anymore.
