But I will give you one sneak peek: I LOVED IT!!! (But then I'm on a slight <i>Ivanhoe</i> roll, so I am finding anything good with/about it hard to not get terribly excited about. However, you probably know what that's like! :))<br /><br />I can't wait to get the photos off to you! The next couple days might be a little squished, but I'm looking forward to sending them. :)Éowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740991607580029470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-27965274187784136912015-03-11T17:00:14.271-07:002015-03-11T17:00:14.271-07:00Oh, good! I can't wait to try Ivanhoe again. I...Oh, good! I can't wait to try Ivanhoe again. I've seen the 1952 version of Ivanhoe before and if I remember correctly, I liked it! And I'll certainly read over your review soon. :)<br /><br />Oh, wow! I'm so glad! I wasn't sure whether you'd be okay with sharing or not, so I'm so glad we had the same thing in mind! :)<br />If you'd like, just ask Heidi for my email, if that's easiest for you. I can't wait to see them!<br /><br />Oh, good! I'm in the middle of writing my reply to your letter, so I'll be sure to include lunch questions! :)<br />Hope you're having a lovely evening!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-85597056805012811572015-03-10T09:07:12.603-07:002015-03-10T09:07:12.603-07:00Natalie,
I understand completely what you mean abo...Natalie,<br />I understand <i>completely</i> what you mean about <i>Ivanhoe's</i> writing style! I hemmed and hawed and nearly put it aside for an entire morning before I could find the courage to embark, but finally I did! After the first 100 pages or so, the story drew me in and would. not. let. me. GO! So, do give it another try! I actually have a review of it already written up that should be going up on High Noon quite soon, so if you need more encouragement you can be looking out for that. :)<br /><br />And I know. That mother and baby one is <i>too</i> adorable! <br /><br />Oh, and I would love to share some photos from that shoot! I may post a few of them on here, but some of my favorites were ones showing her face and (this being the public web and all) I had been secretly wishing I could send some to you, (but didn't want to force them on you or anything) and then...bam!..you asked! So be aware that you made my day! :) <br /> <br />Lunches can be so hard! I would love to talk about it, though, because food is one of my favorite subjects!<br /><br />That is so jolly that you were able to go ice skating! Ah, and winter sunsets are so beautiful!<br />Éowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740991607580029470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-70156353272638700032015-03-05T15:01:11.338-08:002015-03-05T15:01:11.338-08:00Such a lovely post, Eowyn! :)
I tried to start Iva...Such a lovely post, Eowyn! :)<br />I tried to start Ivanhoe once, but never did because of the writing style. Now that I feel a little more experienced from Austen, Dickens, and Victor Hugo I want to try it again sometime!<br />Oh, that picture of the old-fashioned couple is so adorable! And I LOVE the one of the woman and her baby-and her dog!<br />Your photo shoot with your sister sounds soooo beautiful! I must admit I feel curious to see it. If you ever feel inclined to share some of it over email, I'd be honored! But I understand completely if you'd rather keep them private. :) <br />I'm going to have to ask you about your favorite healthy food in my letter....I need more healthy lunch ideas! :)<br />Some of my favorite things of January and February are ice skating for the first time in 3 years or so, glorious golden snowy sunsets, and the anticipation of spring! :)<br />Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-75272184636118840192015-03-04T16:55:42.357-08:002015-03-04T16:55:42.357-08:00Kelly-Anne,
Thank you! Right before I posted this,...Kelly-Anne,<br />Thank you! Right before I posted this, I read your post where you mentioned that Autumn was coming and I, too, thought the season cross-over was very interesting! :)Éowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740991607580029470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-1271472504707453862015-03-04T16:53:43.308-08:002015-03-04T16:53:43.308-08:00Emma,

Sometimes it can be so easy and then at other times it takes a LOT more imagination to think of what you can be thankful for!<br /><br />YES! The call of the West is so strong!!! That's when pens and notebooks and keyboards and story writing comes in really handy.... :)<br /><br />Movies seem to always end up being some of the highlights of my months, too! And I was so very glad to hear some of your highlights!Éowynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11740991607580029470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-20018363561574624292015-03-01T21:06:56.660-08:002015-03-01T21:06:56.660-08:00Hello dear Eoywn, such a lovely post - I loved all...Hello dear Eoywn, such a lovely post - I loved all the adorable pictures you used as well! And how strange it is to read about spring when we are entering autumn! :)<br />And I never got to read your literary heroine post, so I'm off to do that now!<br />Hope March is an amazing month for you!<br />Love and hugs!Kelly-Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439145629751304862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-155453966183166227.post-91213716949319104892015-03-01T17:10:37.828-08:002015-03-01T17:10:37.828-08:00I love your Norman Rockwell pictures! These really... I love your Norman Rockwell pictures! These really made me smile. :-)<br /><br /> Defying time...is this a normal thing for writers? I'm beginning to think it must be!<br /><br /> January and February are not my favorite months....in fact, I'm getting really sick of winter right about now. I've always loved winter, but this year, I'm just so restless and anxious for spring to arrive! But I'm trying to revel in the beauty and blessing of right HERE and NOW.<br /><br /> Travel blogs! I'm not familiar with many, but they sound like fun. I too have a reoccurring wanderlust, especially for the west. :-) DUH.<br /><br /> Hmmm, some of my favorite things from January and February....I watched some really good movies! Legends of the Fall and The Stars Fell on Henrietta were my favorites. The soundtrack from the movie A River Runs Through It, starting a new story-in-progress, reading some really good books, and eating popcorn just about every day. Ahhh, looking back, it has been quite a nice two months. :-)<br /><br /> I loved this post! Have a lovely week!<br /><br /> ~Emma<br /> Emma Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00215503772898813587noreply@blogger.com
